‘American Gigolo’ gets a modern makeover, but this call isn’t worth answering

Once you get past the familiar strains of Blondie’s “Call Me” over the opening credits, the message from “American Gigolo” isn’t worth answering. It is, rather, a misguided and distasteful reboot, seeking to tease the movie’s premise into a larger mystery. Jon Bernthal struts his stuff as the escort trying to get his laugh back, but this ’80s artifact should have been left in the time capsule.
