Hot Guys With Guns

Synopsis:

Danny Lohman is an actor on a quest to win a part on a crime drama. Being the good method actor that he is, Danny will do whatever it takes to prepare for his big break, including taking a night class at Santa Monica Junior College in becoming a private investigator. The funny thing is, Danny s actually good at it. His teacher, Jimmy Peppicelli, a former PI, is deeply disappointed that his best student is working hard merely to make it on the small screen. Danny s PI homework includes spying on his recently ex-boyfriend, Pip Armstrong. Pip is a beautiful, popular party boy born and reared in Beverly Hills. Pip and Danny stumble quite literally into an opportunity to show off Danny s detective skills when Pip finds himself the victim of a robbery that he nor any of the other victims can report. Someone s come up with an ingenious plan to rip off A-list sex parties in and around Hollywood. Careers, marriages, contracts, and reputations would be ruined if any one opened their mouths. Danny reluctantly agrees to team up with Pip and try to find the robbers. Under Jimmy s tutelage in the finer points of pointing a gun, talking to informers, and out-running the cops and the bad guys, Danny and Pip actually come out on top.

Quick Thoughts:

I was pleasantly surprised by “Hot Guys With Guns”! With its name and a quick glance at the reviews, I had prepared myself to watch something low-ball and crappy. Don’t get me wrong – there’s plenty of issues with this queer action film! But amid a too-long exposition (nearly the first hour of the film), there’s actually some really great moments of comedy. Equally impressive is the film’s nod to to detective mysteries and film noire. But once you add in the guns, threats, murders, kidnappings and more, this light comedy takes a darker twist. If you’re wanting a Bond film, then “Hot Guys With Guns” is NOT the film to watch. However, if you’re enjoy a good action mystery that’ll keep you entertained – give it a watch!
