Auto Focus (2002)

Chronicles the descent of the seemingly decent Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crain (Greg Kinnear) into the world of porn and lose sex, which resulted in his 1978 murder. Willem Dafoe is creepy as Crain's friend, sexual facilitator, and likely murderer John Henry Carpenter. The film can't help but feel exploitive, but also very effectively makes the case for the destructive power of unchecked sexual avarice, even if its consensual. ***
