WTF?
Randall-Flagg0118 June 2018
A 6.1 huh? Voter fraud considering this is the first written review. What utter garbage. Nonsensical plot and lousy acting. Literally nothing happens in this movie. Don't waste your time.

Junk

This film is not one you should waste your time viewing. The story of the last night in a bar named Mr. Phil's consists of a bunch of uninteresting people who do things for no discernible reason, then suddenly at the very end there is what I guess is supposed to be a shocking display of violence. But it wasn't shocking it was just weird. I don't mean kinky weird, I mean "WTF! Where did that come from?" weird.

The last scene is, I guess, supposed to resolve the whole story and I believe was the director's idea of a twist ending. The only thing twisted was my neck from getting out of the chair too fast as I reached for the remote.

All of the actors are of the "there's that guy who was in that thing" ilk.

Two stars.

Everybody has secrets

Warning: Spoilers
Bill Sullivan (a fine and credible performance by Matthew Pohlkamp) and his buddies go to their favorite watering hole Mr. Phil's Bar for one last hurrah before the place closes. However, it turns out the evening has a lot of surprises in store for almost everyone in the bar.

Director Andre Gordon relates the absorbing and eventful story at a steady pace as well as maintains a probing serious tone throughout. Danny Finnerty's observant script not only offers a neat array of vividly drawn characters, but also pulls off an incredibly audacious twist at the end. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps things humming: Joanna Krupa as sassy barmaid Jackie, Armand Assante as the formidable The Man, Dominique Swain as the volatile Tammy, Jillian Murphy as the perky Sandra, Kevin Porter as the easygoing Tyler, Mindy Robinson as the enticing Karen, Dade Elza as swaggering macho loudmouth Craig Martindale, and John Steven Rocha as the angry Fernando. A nifty little film.
