Sexy Evil Genius

A man gets a mysterious invitation from a long past love to meet her in a bar. He soon discovers he is not the only one who has received an invitation from the woman and soon he is sharing a table – and swapping stories – with the others waiting for the mystery woman to arrive and explain it all. Directed by Shawn Piller (Haven) and starring Seth Green and Katee Sackhoff, the movie is a stylish thriller that has a surprising amount of substance hidden in its intricately woven script, written by Scott Lew. The plot is well paced, with plenty of twists that, when you look back on it, make perfect sense. It’s the cast, though, that really makes the film riveting. Sackhoff is particularly good as the mystery lady, both in the flashbacks scenes when she gets to play different variations  on her character’s theme, and in the scenes shot in the bar where we discover she has gathered her past loves to be part of a revenge scheme years in the making.
