The Perfect Host

5.3 - Despite its very low budget & mostly no-name cast, this is a lot of fun for the first two acts. The premise sits well enough on the line of realistic & ridiculous to pull you in. However, in the final act it starts to feel like it loses its way. It feels as if they either didn’t know how to end it initially, wanted to force an extra twist in, or really felt the need to make it a bit longer to reach that 90 minute mark. Whatever it was, I didn’t love the way it wrapped up, but didn’t hate it for a 90 minute crime thriller. David Hyde Pierce plays crazy well, & Clayne Crawford does well with what he’s given in the script (though he’s far from a standout here).

I liked it, I thought it was pretty good

OMG THE PLOT TWIST AND THE CRAZY DUDE BEING A COP HAD ME FLABBERGASTEDDDDD

A film that is great in its first two acts, but once plot twists begin rolling in, it loses steam. David Hyde Pierce is great in his role, but the film just becomes nonsensical after a certain point
