Melissa (Natalia-Christabelle Serrano) is a former child actress who
has turned escort in her (still young) adult life - and she's good at
fulfilling her johns every desire, open to any fetish they might have ...
until things go horribly wrong, and one of her johns dies. Steve's
(Christopher Lorning) the detective investigating the death of Melissa's
john, and despite all the precautions Melissa has taken, he gets on her
trail ... but he can't quite place her let alone get a confession out of
her - and on top of that he's just a man, and she's quite charming ... American
Johns is quite an interesting little thriller as it's completely
devoid of dialogue (or any on-screen sound for that matter) and instead
tells its story via atmosphere, associative editing and of course its
actors' performances - and it all works out, too, thanks to a strong,
spectacle-free directorial effort and a very competent cast up to its
task. Totally worth a look!
