Few months back I had watched Sebastian Gutierrez's 2009 film titled 'Women in Trouble' and I liked it ... although most men may pass it tagging it as a 'Chick Flick'; which in my opinion is not the case. The other day when I was scrolling the pages of Rotten Tomatoes and came across 'Girl Walks into a Bar' and when I learned this one was written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez I made it a point to watch this latest work of his and I am mighty pleased to say I was not disappointed. Mind you ... Sebastian Gutierrez is not one of those celebrated directors although his movies have fared pretty well among his followers ... I would prefer to say Gutierrez is a bit under rated. He sure comes with good stuff if 'Women in Trouble' and 'Girl Walks into a Bar' is any benchmark. In fact I would rate 'Girl Walks Into A Bar' to be a better fare than 'Women in Trouble'.

What the film is all about? A sharp no-nonsense witty comedy that takes place during the course of a night across the bars in Los Angeles. A dentist (Zachary Quinto) walks into a bar to meet a contract killer (Carla Gugino) to have his wife murdered and accidentally sets off a chain of events that progresses from one bar to another bar including strip clubs and ping pong clubs across the city. The quick witted screenplay complimented by an ensemble cast that does a good job at playing their respective characters and witty and elaborate dialogues make this film a very interesting watch. Trust me the dialogues really stand out ... some of the one-liners too ... a quote from the film "I was under the impression a bar was like a church. A place where a man can be left alone to think in peace"

Bottom-line:  Irrespective of what IMDB or Rottentomatoes has to say regarding this movie, I feel this one deserves a watch. It's quick witted and keeps you entertained enough to last through the 80 odd minutes this film spans.
