I feel like I had done something wrong to pick the movies to see while editing the Newport Beach Film Festival 12. Apart from my initial investigation, all the movies I've seen so far has been very good. On the evening of Wednesday, May 4, 2011, was no different, because I could not see another very entertaining. This time it was a thriller last, the perfect host, in which a criminal on his way home from a man planning to throw a dinner party, only to have the tables turned on him in the worst possible way. Out of the ordinary is certainly the right word, but also tense, black humor, well organized, and a new perspective on the premise that you are not familiar. It also has a great performance by David Hyde Pierce, who clearly challenge themselves. Strong film all the way around.Knowing very little about this film is going, the film pulls the rug from under my feet several times, which I appreciated.
Even in the management of torsion in the first place, what kind of saw it coming, I was always amazed at how it was handled. It was not the wrong movie, but was carefully constructed to me to have a certain level of comfort, only to reveal a completely different film, I respect the film. I've seen similar movies use the same type of configurations and find a better job than others, but this movie was easily a very good example of how to properly handle the key story turns small-scale thriller.
Another key element of this film is the performance of David Hyde Pierce, who did a fantastic job playing a creepy seriously. It has all the habits and idiosyncrasies of a character who could be seen Pierce play at any time to add a layer of brand new and in many respects, his character is terrifying. Everything he does in this film seems perfectly suited to the capabilities of Pierce as an actor, but this aspect will ensure a fascinating creepy. The way that reveals their true intentions and expresses the other side of the defenseless in the character of John is exciting and fascinating to watch.Clayne Crawford is so good in this movie. He has to play a character that we're not sure, but can not help but sympathize with, as he is forced to face something much worse than I could have imagined.
It also helps that he is given a certain amount of coolness that made its way into the story enough to keep things alive in Warwick and of itself, without turning the movie into a territory that is very ridiculous. The film also makes every effort to incorporate flashbacks to better determine why John was found in circumstances that are well used.
The writer / director Nick Tomnay made a strong drive to create a tense remains on edge. Most of the film is set in the house of Warwick and Tomnay does a great job keeping the adjustment of tariffs everywhere. The way that captures the "out there" quality of Warwick is an effective treatment. Tomnay must deal with some aspect ... imaginary Warwick, who manages to do justice to the way we see this character, how he sees things from inside his own mind, and how John sees it. The film is well managed, with the ambitions of the film. This keeps the film interesting, adds a dark coat and funny, but also works to keep the tension off this layer, which really does a great disservice to the film.The movie is short enough not to stay longer than their home.
I do not say to other movies, but when I saw this film at the film festival, it should be noted that most of these films are not actually on the screen until they are regular dealers. The perfect host is actually a movie that has gone through all the motions and made the rounds of festivals enough to have found a distributor, which means it is available OnDemand and rooms in the near future. This is good news, because the film is very good. It creates a very tense atmosphere, while managing to hit some bumps and black comedy. Best of all was David Hyde Pierce shows a new facet of his talent, not to be missed.
Although you have to forgive all the necessary amenities to accept things as they are all playing at the end, I think the energy of the film are high enough where it should not really matter. Together with the original twist, there are many shows that the battery on the end of the film, which managed not to overwhelm what the film tried to achieve. Instead, it becomes an intense journey that continues to defy his characters and to provide an experience tailored to the audience on board.
