Auto Focus
Directed by: Paul Schrader
Starring: Greg Kinnear, Willem Dafoe, Maria Bello, Marieh Delfino, Kurt Fuller

A little long and drawn out, but the cast played their parts well and story line was definitely interesting. If you are too young to know the show Hogan's Heroes, then this might not be all that interesting to you, but even though I wasn't born when the hit TV series was made, I do recall watching the reruns in the 70s and even manage to catch them again this decade. Auto Focus is the story of Bob Crane who was a well know disc jockey, then became a Hollywood star when he was cast as Hogan in the series which ran for 6 years. Bob is played by Greg Kinnear who was brilliant in his role.

Willem Dafoe was convincing as John Carpenter, the tech head of the era who led Crane down what many would say was the wrong path in life. Carpenter introduced Crane to a life of sex and porno tapes. Crane became obsessed with scoring with as many women as possible. His life as a family man was shattered when he became a sex addict.

In true Hollywood style, Crane was murdered in his sleep and the killer never caught, but the movie suggests who did it.

A great look into Hollywood history of the 60s and 70's.
