The 24th Day (2004) finds Tom (Scott Speedman), a straight guy who gave in to his curiosity, seeking revenge on Dan (James Marsden), the one night stand he believes infected him with HIV. Tom handcuffs Dan in his apartment and takes a blood sample to confirm his suspicions.

Originally a play, it makes a good movie and is well acted as the captor and captive debate their case with one another. Tom is determined to carry through and Dan tries to use logic, lies and charm to get free. The only disappointment is that you’d figure with two majorly hot guys in a movie that centers around their having had sex, at least one of them would get their shirt off.
