XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The-Plague "Sexy Evil Genius' is for the most part what I refer to as a one room adventure, or a movie where a majority of the story stays in one place. Seth Green (Zachary Newman) sits in a Los Angeles bar drinking five olive martinis (he missed lunch) waiting to meet an ex girlfriend Nikki from high school. To his surprise, he is not met by Nikki, but rather her former girlfriend from her twenties Miranda Prague (Michelle Trachtenberg). After a brief time talking, mostly sharing stories about the ex they have in common, Marvin Coolidge (Harold Perrineau), another member of the former Nikki fan club strolls into the bar. It becomes evident that Nikki wants these three to meet before she joins the group to share her "big news." 'Sexy Evil Genius' is similar to the 2011 movie 'Carnage' in the sense that because the story stays in one place the progression of the plot relies mainly on strong dialogue. In contrast however, 'Sexy Evil Genius' does have some minor flashback scenes, mainly because the characters are all telling stories about their ex girlfriend, and the plot strays from the bar at the very end. I know what the filmmakers were trying to accomplish by adding the flashback scenes, but it did muck up the plot and create some confusion. It appears that the characters telling their stories about Nikki could have been just as strong and less confusing than a director's depiction.This movie features a strong cast including the people I mention above and William Baldwin, unfortunately the director is not experienced. In contrast, I thought the writing (mainly the dialogue) is captivating and attention grabbing. The story itself is interesting from beginning to end. When three people meet at in bar to have drinks with an ex girlfriend they all share there is going to be an undeniable tension, but also an incorporation of bittersweet nostalgia as they all reminisce.Katee Sackhoff has a notable performance playing the crafty Nikki Franklyn who puts her master plan into motion weeks before anyone even sets foot into the bar. Her wit and her charm, along with the fact that she is as Seth Green says in the movie a "sexy evil Genius" creates a plot that becomes wild and unpredictable (in a good way). Her intentions become as unclear as the original reason why everyone has been invited to the bar, and by the end of the movie even M. Night Shyamalan would find himself saying, "ooh, what a twist!"

ikeybabe This movie is unworthy of the title "Sexy Evil Genius." There was nothing sexy, no real genius involved and the closest to evil was this chick's utter wackiness. Overall, the movie was boring. A bunch of people sit in a bar and talk old times about a crazy ex. The climax wasn't even close to thrilling. Instead of watching this movie, have a couple drinks and watch just about anything on TV. And since I need 10 lines to submit this review, here are some much better things to watch: "American Horror Story," "Hostages," "Sons of Anarchy," "The Black List," old "Law & Order" episodes (any of them) and "Homicide: Life on the Streets." Shoot, even "Gilligan's Island" was more entertaining!

Arnror_II Sexy is subjective, so I'll leave it up to you, although I have never found her anyway near sexy. So with good written dialog, I was waiting for an evil genius something..What a waste! Is this what passes for a film these days, was this really necessary to bring out to the masses. I'm sensing some friends doing a favor for another here, or just that Seth wanted to meet Trachtenberg. Who can blame him.So the dialog, camera, directing, and everything tec, was impeccable. Story,casting sucked big time. If you're gonna have genius in the title, ask a genius, or even just a smart person to help you write next time.

Justin McGill Just looking at the writer and director behind the camera both alumni of the USA series "The Dead Zone" (of which Anthony Micheal Hall was the star). I will admit, off the top, I was quite dismayed with how small Hall's part was.. but that is only a MINOR quibble and in no way detracts from the film, he's just an actor whom I'd like to see more of.Writer Scott Lew may be known for the more off beat "Bickford Schmeckler's Cool Ideas".. I don't know what the reputation is among others, its one of those quirky little films you come to.. but considering they got a fantastic performance out of Matthew Lillard (which seems rare, until lately). I would give the movie and its casting good marks.We come to this film. And the one thing I can say is to me it was overshadowed by the darker more grindhouse driven (but similar old friends meeting in a bar) film "Sushi Girl", if you haven't seen that film I would HIGHLY recommend it.. but to the task at hand.Seth Green does NOT SUCK. Let's just get that out of the way.. He's quite good here, as is Michelle Trachtenberg and Harold Perrineau (from HBO's OZ). I wasn't bowled over by William Baldwin in the film, then we come to the icy "sexy evil genius" herself Katee Sackhoff best known for the "Battlestar Galactica" revamp.The basic story.. 3 former lovers of the title character all meet in a bar after a message to meet her. What are her intentions? That's the gist, and what really propels the movie forward. While the BIG twist at the end wasn't all that big a shock, its a film that's interesting to see how it got to that end as the characters bounce off crazy stories, each one seeming to relate an almost entirely different person to the others before a singular version begins to kind of form together.. before it gets pulled out from under us again. The flick isn't high on the stylish look, but it serves the film well enough and the easy dialogue keeps the film moving pretty quickly.I won't spoil the film, but I will say its definitely worth a watch.. but I would more recommend the similar (as I said) but harder edged "Sushi Girl".. or even the Ryan Reynolds thriller "Buried" films that take place in more or less a singular location through out the entire film. The film keeps your attention for the entire running time, and while not as polished or glossy as the average big budget film giving some bigger stars and a lil more tech this could easily be in the multiplexes. Don't let that stop you from enjoying the film.
