After a drinking contest with some questionable local spirits, three friends wake naked on a beach to discover two are handcuffed to a locked suitcase, one has a strange new tattoo, and none of them have any clue what happened the night before. When they soon find themselves pursued by local gangsters, their only shot at making it home - and to the altar - is to piece together the previous night's events while on the run.

Girls vs Gangsters offers a unique premise about a wild bachelorette trip in Vietnam gone awry, but poor execution, illogical scenes, and weak acting overshadow its potential. The film is filled with inconsistencies, from missing characters...
