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??

This was a fun movie. I'm not going to pretend I'm some movie reviewer and comment on the acting or the cinematography - that's so pompous. I watch a lot of gay movies and I know what I like, and I definitely liked this one! It made me laugh, it was sexy at times, and most of all it kept me interested. The two lead actors had good chemistry together and it was fun to root for them to get back together. For some reason, there are so many dark and depressing gay films, so it was refreshing to watch this rom-com- "thriller". Check it out! Unless you've got a major stick up your backside (like some reviewers on here) you'll love it!

"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 saw this at the Palm Springs Gay Film Festival (aka Cinema Diverse) and I'm giving this an 8 because it was a refreshing departure from the usual paint-by-the-numbers gay film. Better still, it doesn't try to be a gay police procedural, as the lead characters are not cops, detectives or PIs. Marc Anthony Samuel as Danny Lohman carries most of the film as an action hero actor wannabe who's taking a night course in how to be a PI. It's impossible to understand what he sees in his smarmy boyfriend Pip Armstrong (played woodenly by Brian McArdle). Jimmy Peppicelli is the ex-PI teaching the class, brilliantly played by Alan Blumenfeld. It's a decent whodunit, although I figured it out too early. Like so many of these low budget, first time films, it gets bogged down with too many characters and pointless detours from the main story. For example, too much time is wasted on Armstrong's unfunny mother and Lohman's day job as a waiter. A its best, it's a light, frothy gay date film to enjoy with a big bowl of popcorn. But if you want to see a much better made gay detective thriller, check out one of the Donald Strachey films starring Chad Allen.
