A fun story from Doug Spearman. a who-dunnit, with a great crowd of hot guys. Stars Marc Samuel and Brian McArdle. Starts out like an episode of Archer, with the overbearing, silly, rich, drunk mother. All kinds of swearing, and lots of bare, hot guy butts, so not for the kiddies. but it is a fun caper. the cast is good, the acting is mostly good. the story itself kind of meanders all over, like a gay remington steele, but just go along for the ride. This goes back and forth, from being a comedy to a more serious but lightweight drama. pokes fun at hollyweird, as well as bond films (at least in the opening credits...). Written and directed by Doug Spearman (noah's arc, old dogs new tricks). Good fun stuff. surprised at the low ratings... its fun if you don't take it too seriously.
Have you ever watched the previews and thought you would really like a movie but after watching it it crush your expectations. I was expecting a little more from this film. It seemed kind of racist to me slow in action a little funny but not much The black guy was pretty cute so was his white friend. It seems like it was pretty low on budget and reminding me of Los Angeles back in the '80s. I would like to see Marc Anthony in something else I guess I should do my research to find more about him and what he has acted in this movie was truly a disappointment for me and it was pretty much a waste of my time.
I loved this film! I adore a good detective story. Every scene was presented so beautifully. It was a perfect portrayal of certain aspects of Gay Los Angeles. I liked that race, sex, drugs and social wealth status were interwoven throughout the film, yet the film was still light. I also liked the way the film dealt with some serious topics yet had humor at times. Loved Loved Loved the character Danny. It takes a lot to have me watch a full movie all the way through without drifting but I stayed up way past my bedtime despite being super sleepy because I was so captivated. I also always guess the plot in movies and there is a perfect little twist in this plot that I did not expect. I liked that the portrayals were real without any Hollywood style redemption. I want a sequel. Bravo Doug Spearman!
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.

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.
