8\/22\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Opens:\u00a0 September 17, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you were fortunate enough to have seen the director\u2019s\u00a0 2011 movie \u201cYou\u2019re Next,\u201d you\u2019ll say \u201cThe Guest\u201d is right up Adam Wingard&#8217;s alley.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2019re Next\u201d features a group of toughs, ax murderers in fact, who invade a family reunion, and whose victims are ready to say their prayers when one of their number proves equally adept at killing.\u00a0 The title guest of Wingard&#8217;s latest\u2014scripted by Simon Barrett who was on Singar\u2019s team for \u201cYou\u2019re Next\u201d and took a hand at writing\u00a0 \u201cV\/H\/S\u201d\u2014is as charming as Ted Bundy and just as psychopathic.\u00a0 He oozes his way into a struggling family\u2019s beautifully decorated house in the fictional town of Moriarty, New Mexico, getting their sympathies by identifying himself as the best friend of one Caleb, who died in Iraq.\u00a0 He is so polite, throwing out \u201cSir\u201d and \u201cMa\u2019am\u201d and \u201cI-don\u2019t-want-to-impose\u201d that of course he is asked to stay for a few days.\u00a0 Calling himself David (Dan Stevens\u2014from \u201cDownton Abbey\u201d), the guest wins the trust of Laura Peterson (Sheila Kelley), her husband Spencer (Leland Orser), 20-year-old daughter Anna (Maika Monroe) and especially high-school student Luke Peterson (Brendan Meyer).\u00a0 In the last case, David makes mincemeat of four bullies who had regularly taunted the dorky Luke by provoking them in a bar and taking revenge.\u00a0 How can we in the audience not sympathize with a fellow who wants only to protect the clan?<\/p>\n<p>Barrett\u2019s script is loaded with wit and daring, as when David intimidates the principal of Moriarty High School when the latter orders Luke\u2019s expulsion for fighting back against a bully.\u00a0 The repartee is so clever that it would be a shame to reproduce it here: you\u2019ve got to see the movie to appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>And did I say that we in the audience favor David with our sympathy despite our knowing from the start that he is impersonating someone and despite his killing a virtual army of machine-gun toting government men?<\/p>\n<p>David is a guy who any family might want to hang out with.\u00a0 David not only dispatches four bullies who tormented Luke.\u00a0 He made sure that Spencer, the man of the house, achieves his dream of getting promoted to regional manager, and he does this in a matter of one day while Spencer had to spend years kissing up to his boss for the promotion.\u00a0 Too bad young Anna burrows into the business by calling the military to check whether David is the person he claims to be, and having the na\u00efvet\u00e9 to confront the guest about what she finds.<\/p>\n<p>The physical violence is kid\u2019s play compared to the way that David unleashes the dogs of war in the second part of the movie.\u00a0 His firepower consists not only of guns of every description but two hand grenades as well.\u00a0 He is confronted by a team of sharp-shooters, and in a blazing, climactic scene lays waste to the small army.<\/p>\n<p>The critic from Variety is puzzled about David\u2019s motive in hiking to the Peterson family home, but I would interpret his action as the need of a man with superhuman strength to be the protector of its occupants.\u00a0 The picture is anchored by Dan Stevens\u2019s charismatic role as an impossibly handsome, charming, and muscular individual who, as the military police explain, derived his powers in a most unusual way.\u00a0 Look not only for a sequel to \u201cThe Guest\u201d but to Dan Stevens\u2019 appearance in future roles or all kinds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated R.\u00a0 99 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 2014 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 B+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acting
