Who hurt you Nicholas?!
I would recommend this movie for a weekend in the category of "Its so bad its good" films.
Its odd this film has heart, but only because the guy who wrote and stars in the movie seems to be re-accounting a former relationship he had in a psychotic way...
Sadly, this is a tedious, slow paced and excessively talky drama from b-movie purveyors Crown International Pictures. It's a very basic film indeed with the limited ambition and budget pretty seriously evident at all times. It seemed to consist primarily of scenes involving lead actor Nicholas Hoppe, who is a truly terrible actor. His annoying performance drives this one into the ground and you will be doing extremely well to be in the least bit bothered about what happens to him or his club. There's little in the way of thrills to be found here besides some gangsters threatening Hoppe's character and some not very interesting soft-core sex scenes. It was so tiresome that I glazed over towards the end and zoned out so completely that the next thing I noticed was the night club was up and running and events ending sweetly for Hoppe. So in my half-asleep state, I clearly must have missed some key action that got us to this happy conclusion. I can't help but feeling I didn't miss very much though and just accepted that it all must've ended well for Hoppe somehow – at least it ended well for someone because if you sit through this I daresay you'll not feel so clever by the conclusion.

The opening credits resemble a porno movie from the 80s. The look of the film is OK. the color pops. The blonde wife is do-able. and that's about where it ends.
The acting is horrible. Especially the blonde with the BJ lips. She is atrocious and must have gotten the role on the casting couch. That would have been a more worthwhile video to watch!
Within 2 minutes of the film she's having sex. Must have been to keep her mouth shut. She's THAT bad. The funniest thing is her bio on IMDb is gigantic only she hasn't worked since 1999 and a lot of her roles have been R rated T&A films or uncredited roles. Plus it actually makes mention of her first film being Waitress!
This is funny because it was an early Troma film and literally anyone who showed up got a part! I have a tone of friends who were in it. They did that it get buzz and fill seats. Joe Schmo tells you he's in the movie and you go see it! What joke this chick is.
The movie is horrendous with no real plot or scene of interest.
It amuses me that the IMDb defines this as 'action, comedy, drama' while my TV guide called it a horror. There's no action, horror, or comedy in it and the drama is limited to scenes of the whiny lead bitching about various trivialities. Viewers will quickly tire of Nicholas Hoppe's intensely irritating lead character which is off-putting in itself. 95% of the running time consists of characters sitting around in or fooling around in the abandoned warehouse while nothing happens to further the non-existent plot.
Occasionally a Tarantino-lookalike gangster comes into the fray, but to pad out the film for the most part there's a series of incessant sex and nude scenes. These are silly and dated looking in the extreme, and the cheesy music that plays during them (and elsewhere) helps to make this film feel incredibly dated. It really is a mess, and one of the worst I've seen.

Beth: [wielding a camcorder, making home movie] Nick, the movers are gonna be here any minute!
Nick: I know.
Beth: [narrating] This is where it all began. Two years ago, they were all but complete strangers. Who would have thought that a couple of margaritas and one night of bliss on this imported rug would lead to... "darling, won't you marry me?"
[he is busy typing]
Beth: Come on, Nick, we have to meet the real estate agent to give us the keys to the warehouse.
Nick: Just a sec.
Beth: [narrating:] Nicholas Taylor, believed by most people to be a writer of serious fiction, but in actuality, he's the owner of the wildly successful new night club, Zex House.
Nick: [incredulous] Zex House?
Beth: Mr. Taylor, I hear you have big plans for this new night spot. Can you tell us about them?
Nick: Hang on, I'm almost finished with this chapter. You know how I work better under pressure.
Beth: Here we have it. From fiction to fact, art versus business, can he do it? Or will success spoil Mr. Taylor?
Nick: Come here, read this.
Beth: Read it? What if I don't like it?
Nick: You'll like this. It has a happy ending.
Beth: [he caresses her as she reads] "For the past two years, they had shaped their love in the confines of these walls. Now he believed they could make it. But even if he didn't, in their hearts they would always carry the imprint of their romantic maneuvers." This is a happy ending?
Nick: Oh, there's more.
Beth: No, there isn't.
Nick: Yeah.
[there isn't, but he adds:]
Nick: He looks into her eyes with a sincerity he hasn't felt since he was fifteen, in love for the first time.
[leading to their passionate kiss]
