While not quite as compelling as his recently produced "Hotel Noir", the Girl Walks Into A Bar is a modern Noir style send-up with more delightful performances from filmmaker Gutierrez' outstanding ensemble cast. Filmed against the night time underworld of the Los Angeles bar scene, even Raymond Chandler couldn't have done any better with all of the twists and turns of a not so serious crime type drama, involving undercover cops, purse snatchers and heist artists, and the in-crowd out for a good time.
Don't miss the always compelling performances of Carla Gugino, Danny Devito, and Rosario Dawson, who can always be depended on to deliver a delightful character study romp in a Gutierrez directed film. As always, the work of filmmaker Sebastian Gutierrez is more focused on atmosphere and character study than it is plot, with the action seeming to take place in a noir never never land where almost unbelievable characters haunt Chandler's gritty dark side of Los Angeles. But the unbelievably good ensemble cast pull it off with a style and flair consistent in all of their collaborations. A great bonus for Danny Devito fans is that
whenever he creates ones of his characters it just lights-up the screen. If you like this film try to get your hands on a copy of the
hard to find "Hotel Noir" with much of the same cast of characters. It's one of the greatest modern noir style outings of all time.
