The party really gets started when Nikki herself arrives, hauling her latest lover and fiancee, the morally challenged lawyer who'd been handling her case. She's mysterious about her intentions and her current and former lovers soon realize they are all caught in one of her brilliant, mischievous mind-games with possible deadly consequences.

Michael Ledo Katee Sackhoff stars as Nikki, the girl in the title. After being out of prison for four months, she gathers three of her ex-lovers in a bar. She was found not guilty of killing her stalker, then boyfriend by reason of insanity. Her criminal lawyer and now fiancee Bert (William Baldwin) shows up with her. The characters are Zach (Seth Green) her first love. There is also Miranda (Michelle Trachtenberg) and Marvin (Harold Perrineau). Each of the her three former lovers represent one aspect of the title or Nikki's psyche.While they wait for her arrival, the three tell stories about how crazy and enchanting Nikki was in their lives. The stories barely held my interest, but I was drawn in by wanting to know where this film, with a jazz opening, was headed. The movie involves telling stories and playing head games at the table. It is more of a five man play.The film is clever and there are times when I think it is clever for the sake of being clever. This is for those who like a smart indy and "My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult."Parental Guide: F-bomb. Brief sex. No nudity.
zif ofoz What a fun movie to watch and try to figure out what is about to happen! The entire setting (until the very end) takes place at one table and 'the ladies room' in one bar. The characters are distinct and the conversation is clever and at times mysterious. Just what is Nikki up to?? You will have to see this movie if your are curious.Each actor gives a power performance and their interaction will keep you watching. I do not want to offer up any of the plot line because when I watched this movie I had no idea what it was about. It's one of those flicks (in my opinion) that makes you feel like saying - "That was good" at the end.What you think one moment about Nikki will change numerous times during the story! I only gave 9 stars because I found the ending a bit hollow.
Die Cycle Sexy Evil Genius exposes a couple, often forgotten, universal truths. The first: A close shaven Seth Green can pass for a fifteen year old, any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The second: Even absent a billion dollar budget, CGI, 3-D, spectacular shoot-outs, or gratuitous nude scenes, a decent script, coupled with impressive acting is, as always been, damn entertaining.I am content the above paragraph summed up my viewing experience of Sexy Evil Genius, however, the content gods of IMDb demand more input. To comment on the main character, the "genius", was she a manipulative, severely psychologically damaged individual? Absolutely. Was she someone that I, or any rational person, would wish to share company? No. Did she, and the film, hold my attention? Yes. Was the entire experience worth my time and the few dollars to rent the video. Yes.
mark-newman-1 Why hasn't this movie gotten more reviews? (11 at the last count!) Well, it went straight to DVD, that's why. But that's a shame because it's a corker of a script and deserves a wider audience.A capable cast leads the audience through a twisty turny plot involving the ex-lovers of Nikki, a 'sexy evil genius.' She gathers them together in a bar for mysterious reasons that she baits them with through their meeting... but nothing is as it seems and no-one can be sure whether or not she's telling the truth. Come to think of it, there are questions of 'the truth' about her ex-lovers too.Key to the story is the question of her sanity, the veracity of which is cleverly shuffled throughout the dialog. What is real and what is imagined... what is believed to have happened and what has actually happened.The state of Nikki's mental health (don't call her Nik!) would explain her motives but we never know what that is or what they are till the end.The ensemble cast all help create an electric atmosphere but when Katee Sackhoff is let off her leash she steals it.If you enjoyed the intelligent screenplay, brisk pace and edgy atmosphere of Glengarry Glenross then you'll get a pleasant evenings entertainment from this.
