Time for another Andy Sidaris film!

Dona

A powerful international criminal named Juan Degas has made millions selling weapons on the black market, but when he tries to have a lady assassinated in Hawaii, he attracts the attention of two ladies from the L.E.T.H.A.L. agency.

Dona and Nicole now begin investigating Juan, and the clues lead them to Las Vegas. But the ladies are in danger, because Juan already has men trying to kill them off before they ruin his crime business.
Juan is so elusive and powerful that Dona decides to get back-up from a team of her colleagues to help take him down.

Since this is an Andy Sidaris film we pretty much know exactly how this is all going to play out... Guns, breasts, explosions, muscles, and even some oily bikini wrestling.

Juan Degas

Yes, the man has a basic formula he uses in all of his films, but it usually makes for an entertaining 90 minutes. While Guns has some great moments of excitement, it definitely isn't one of his strongest.

The plot here is really thin, but at least that means it's easy to follow despite the fact that there are way too many characters to keep track of. There are the standard action sequences, with gun fights and explosions, but most of it is saved for the last 30 minutes. This means much of the movie is dealing with soap opera drama, and while it always maintains a forward momentum, it can get a bit dull at times.




Luckily, this is still a Sidaris movie, so there are some great highlights of creative cheesiness and humorously terrible acting. It's also nice to see that while the movie is sleazy, the ladies are always empowered and ready to be heroic.

Getting the team together

Die hard fans of Andy Sidaris will find something to keep them invested, since there are many reoccurring characters to see, but it might just be too gonzo for casual viewers. It's almost like the simplicity of the film's title says it all. There's not much here except the basic ingredients, but Sidaris is perfectly comfortable with that.

Be sure not to miss:
- The cow-print briefcase. This thing is in many Sidaris movies.
- If I ever start fishing, I'm going to need a remote controlled toy boat to deliver my beers.
- "Don't just do something! Stand there!"
- Danny Trejo has a small role.
- The story about the London Bridge in Arizona is true. Here's a wikipedia link.
