Zachary Quinto stars as a dentist who teams up with a feisty would-be assassin (Carla Gugino) to put the final touches on the plan to kill his wife. Once he makes a play for the assassin's payment, he unknowingly sets off a chain of events that fuels a crosstown journey through the many lounges, bars, strip clubs and the occasional nudist ping pong clubs scattered across Los Angeles. By turns funny and heartbreaking, this sharp-witted comedy features ten interconnected vignettes that build to a revealing finish. -- (C) Official Site

Well, what did you expect from a straight-to-youtube film?

"One night, ten bars, lots of mayhem." A sharp-witted comedy that follows a group of apparent strangers in interlocking stories taking place in ten different bars during the course of one evening throughout Los Angeles. <center>"One night, ten bars, lots of mayhem." A sharp-witted comedy that follows a group of apparent strangers in interlocking stories taking place in ten different bars during the course of one evening throughout Los Angeles. <center>REVIEW</center> A film that holds the distinction and made especially for YouTube, and for free no less, from writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez (Women In Trouble, Elektra Luxx) and starring a bevy of notable actors and actresses like Carla Gugino (who also happens to be Gutierrez's wife), Alexis Bledel, Josh Hartnett, Rosario Dawson - note: this is not a Sin City reunion - Robert Forster, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Zachary Quinto, Michelle Ryan and Danny DeVito. The movie plays out like a pulpy neo-noir drama with intertwining storylines with a quick-witted screenplay and is anchored by a great ensemble cast. Virtually every scene set in a bar, and the film's whole conceit is just characters in verbal jousts about the whys and wherefores and consisting of a wide range of topic. What reeled me in, for the most part, is the director never going for anything grand or some big climactic shootout with lots of explosions, he downplays almost everything, soaks up the seedy locale of dingy Los Angeles and let's his fast-and-loose script do the talking. I also like that little dancing ditty in the end, any movie who references Godard's 'Band of Outsiders' gets an A on my book.

Instantly forgettable talkie movie with a great cast.
