Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
I was expecting more of a back story after all this tension build up in the first hour, so this was a disappointment. A guy who escapes a team of highly-trained killers, is almost killed by two teenagers. Very convincing.
I've learned that you can't trust the reviews that give an overly lengthy description that includes the names of the writers, directors, and the actors. You also can't trust those who give a synopsis instead of a review...Those people are so obviously paid to write a review for a movie. This is true review from someone who likes to watch movies for nothing other that the entertainment factor.... and I can tell you this movie absolutely sucked! There is no way this movie was made in 2014 as it has a complete 80's vibe and not it a good way. The music was boring and uneventful and the acting was horrible and cheesy. If it wasn't for the gratuitous nudity in one scene, this would only be worthy of a Lifetime movie...and that is giving it too much credit.
The movie has some good actions scenes but has many plot issues, watch only if you have some time to kill and you dont look for logics
The Guest is actually a good movie. Even though the idea of the story is probably a bit cliché and quite predictable, but i do not complain. The acting is good, that is one plus point you can enjoy. I can feel the atmosphere change when the guest was being confronted of what he did, and also i can feel the tense when he intimidated Anna. .There's a plot hole in the story, but it doesn't really matter. We have to realize that the real story is actually about the failure project of the government when they tried to make a super soldier. As it apparently turned wrong, the government tried to hunt "the guest" down. And of course, you can easily guess the rest of the story ;) .Lesson learned: don't trust stranger who comes to your house and claims to know your family. . . . . Dan Stevens is a real fine LOL
