"There s plenty of eye candy here for the guys—there is a great deal of male nudity. There is also great suspense and some really fantastic dialog peppered with memorable one-liners. For me what emerges from the film most of all is the wonderful relationship between a lesbian woman and a gay male. This seems to be something we do not see very often and it is refreshing to see two gay characters of opposite sexes not only working together but enjoying each other… Even as a thriller, there is great comedy and you laugh as you try to figure out what will happen next… we can only hope that Robert Gaston has more movies coming our way soon" Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride (August 21, 2007)
"It's in a genre all its own — the lesbian/gay buddy movie gone sexed-up noir thriller — and it has a mystery at its heart. Add lots of girl-on-girl kissing and our dyke detective running around in high heels and a tight dress with a gun, and you've got 2 Minutes Later, a film by Robert Gaston (OpenCam), currently making the rounds on the LGBT film festival circuit" LEZ WORLD: Review of 2 Minutes Later (August 05, 2007)
"I just sat there going how, how did this guy know to make my dream movie? Robert Gaston, whoever you are, GET. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD."
"Suspense, great characters, terrific acting, a tight story and a lot of really pretty people exchanging clever dialogue" AFTER ELLEN on LogoOnline.com (July 16, 2007)
"2 Minutes Later" was a buddy detective movie, with the buddies being a gay man and a
lesbian thrown together by chance and who bond between chases, trysts with others, bullets
flying and cocktails. Smartly written and directed by Robert Gaston, it deserves distribution immediately,
though, like so many small budget independently produced films at NewFest, it has yet to be picked up.
The actors had real chemistry: Michael Molina and Jessica Graham were a perfect pair (and perfectly paired off
in their own styles with others for hot gay male and lesbian sex scenes). Not many flix offer something
for both gay men and lesbians. As he introduced the film, Gaston said: "We're not trying to save the world with
this film, we just want to entertain people for a couple of hours." He has well succeeded. ANOTHER QUEER JEWISH BUDDHIST (June 3, 2007)

"...a festival programmer's delight: “Typically, it’s pulling teeth
to get men and women into the same screenings. 2 Minutes Later is a welcomed change.” " Harriet

“…the one I got all excited reading about is an American film by Robert Gaston called 2 Minutes Later
(pictured at top). I totally want this film to be brilliant, because the description alone makes me all
breathless. Frameline describes it as "an episode of 'Silk Stalkings' if it were directed by Robert Mapplethorpe"
and it's not impossible that could be the perfect idea for a movie.” Thanks for the mention, AfterElton, we love
being an underdog and we will not disappoint! See you in San Fran. AfterElton.com (May 2007)
"Packed with explosive action and enough explicit
steamy action for both genders, 2 Minutes Later is an
edge-of-your seat, whodunit caper. It has all of the
qualities of a first-rate Hollywood movie story-line,
direction, performances, drama, suspense, humor. It
would deserve raves even without its gay themes and
all of its hunky naked men. I loved it and highly
recommend it." David Knight BUZZ (April 26th, 2007)
