Hot Guys with Guns

I bought this movie because I liked the trailer, which I saw as an extry in another movie's DVD. It actually seemed really interesting and funny, and with a hot guy in it, and it had quite a different plot for a gay movie, so I decided to buy it. The movie drags on, it's not entertaining enough. There are a number of very funny scenes, especially the last one, very reminiscent of classic cop movies, the mother, etc but these are not even well made and just make you yearn for the originals. I could not wait for it to be over. It's really pretty boring. One special note: the lighting is horrible. For instance the very first scene at Pip's, it looks like there was no lighting at all for a movie and they were relying on the (bad) spot lighting in the room. It could have been better. PS: how on earth are there so many stellar reviews on here??

Although I enjoyed Noah's Arc on LOGO- (Spearman and Stephens) that was low budget cable TV -this is film, which is supposed to be a step above cable TV.

The premise is cute and does have a different twist than a typical boy- meets-boy gay film which I admire but doesn't deliver. It's kind of like watching a reject episode of a gay Charlie's Angles. It's campy but it doesn't mean to be campy -that is the rub and why it fails.

I'm all for gay film and when I lived in L.A., I used to got to a lot of indie film screenings but this one misses the mark. I give it an A for effort but it still feels very low budge....

"Hot Guys With Guns" is a must see movie. From the title I didn't really know what to expect. The first 5 minutes of watching this film you will get hooked. I've never seen a film that made me laugh one minute, and then had me at the edge of my seat trying to solve the mystery. Not only was I at the edge of my seat, but my wife was too. She was even talking to the screen as she was unsuccessfully trying to figure out the mystery. I have to say Doug Spearman did a wonderful job directing and writing this film. Mr. Spearman captured the true essence of Los Angeles with a twist. If you're looking for a great date night movie look no further. Oh!!! Did I forget to mention how beautiful the cast was? Especially Marc Anthony Samuel. I loved his character Danny.

I love this movie. It is so much fun. I've seen a bunch of serious gay films recently. Some are well done, while others are laughably amateurish. Way too many have a "Kill the Gay" ending, and are depressing as hell. This film is well done (writing, acting, cinematography) and a joy to watch. The two leads, Marc Anthony Samuel and Brian McArdle, are sexy as hell and exhibit an obvious chemistry in both serious and funny scenes. Alan Blumenfeld stands out in a supporting roll. While Samuel appears to have s substantial acting career, McArdle doesn't seem to have done too much....a real shame. He's gorgeous and his comic timing is impeccable. Hallmark should grab him. He can be found on both YouTube and Instagram as the "cocktail coach," discussing all manner of spirits in an entertaining way. If you haven't already figured it out, I fell hard for Mr. McArdle, and would love to see him do some more acting.

Another typical gay movie, drawing an audience only because as gays, we hope it might be good and we should see it. To get the 8/10 posted here, those associated with the film must pushed every person they knew to make a favorable review.

Seriously, we saw this as part of the LGBT film fest at Lincoln Center in NY and couldn't believe it was selected for viewing. Its just Noah's Ark with guns and a bad crime plot. And in response to their superficial lure of "Hot Guys," well, no, not really. There must be SOOO many other films more worthy of selection. Major disappointment!

On the upside, other films in this fest have been very good.
