A new comedian starts as opening act at the hottest strip club in Ohio, but a misunderstanding with its mafia-connected boss thrusts him in a race to clear his name. If he can’t uncover the truth, he’ll not only lose his job, but his life.

“Our main character works at a strip club – no not what you think. Itu0026#39;s a he and heu0026#39;s a comedian (and bar man I guess). And he also has issues … well many issues, but one is concerning a female, who is sort of his boss and not just because she sleeps with the actual boss, but … ok who am I kidding? While this is a thriller, there is not much here to tell about the story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is shot nicely (lighting and all) and there are some stand up jokes that are funny (no pun intended). Acting wise and dialog wise though – do not expect anything from this. Yes there is a twist, which might come as a bit of a surprise – only to be completely undermined by what follows … and there is also a lot of nudity. While I donu0026#39;t always agree when people call intercourse in movies hardcore, this seems to be coming quite close to that (again no pun intended). It is what it is and a bit of a throwback to the 80s/90s erotic thrillers. It could have done with a more charismatic lead, but I donu0026#39;t think it would have saved the movie either”
