Our friend Warwick is a delightful host, and he's always dedicated to entertaining his... Guests. There's so many twists and turns that we never even come full circle. It's well worth the watch.

After robbing a bank, John made a clean getaway, still cops find out his identity and details about the car he ends up driving. Later, he finds a home to hide and also manages to con his way into the residence of Warwick. It's a dark comedy with many plot twists. Tomnay crafts a psychological cat and mouse game which will keep you guessing throughout. The film mainly focuses on two characters and performance by the lead actors were OK. Tomnay skillfully shifts the thrilling suspense to dark comedy was ridiculous to handle.

The Perfect Host is a great showcase of a thriller/suspense. Being held captive is bad enough, but to be treated as Taylor was must make it 10x worse. There are a few flaws but none too bad that you can't look past. One being: how did he hurt his foot? This is the question most are dwelling over, hut it is simple, he is a criminal on the run, and he easily could've been shot, or tripped over some barbed-wire. Nothing too hard to comprehend. A teeth-clenching finale shows how corrupt people may be, as well as how delusional one man can become after years and years of loneliness. It was a sad moment when Warrick stood back up after being "stabbed" with his fake knife. I was actually rooting for John to leave, at least somewhat, unscathed, but anger and aggression took him over. The ending would've never happened if Warrick hadn't had knives and swords hanging on his wall. The other most seen question, or complaint, is: How convenient is it that Warrick just so happened to be a policeman? The answer is quite simple: John Taylor's arrival to Warrick's home was a planned event. It wasn't just chance that he stumbled upon an unwillingly friendly samaritan who turned out to be an undercover cop. He was followed, tracked, and almost forced to go to Warrick's.

The perfect host is a brilliant little movie in disguise. With an unknown director, no A-list celebrities in the cast, a small budget and no big studio backing it up, it seems like the kind of film a college student would make. But this movie not at all what it appears to be. The first twenty minutes or so it's relatively boring and similar to any other cheesy action/thriller; But as the movie unravels, an intense and superb plot comes to light. The story only keeps getting more interesting, we find ourselves empathizing with the characters, and often on the edge of our seat. It's a promising film that's entertaining and fun to watch. There isn't much to be said about it. Go watch it. 7/10
