babarizam D This movie and The Lucky One has few similarities, actually few dialogue for example running all the way, telling about in war together. having no cell phone. I didn't watch all of it as, this is a thriller and other one quite different but can't overcame the thought of resemblance Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Gage H I wish Maika Monroe would make me a mixtape while decked out in Hot Topic... I bet this movie was ahead of it's time in 2014 but now in 2025 it's roll has slowed. Still (as usual) solid performances from both Dan & Maika. I'm still wondering who the guest actually was. What was his real relationship with the families brother? Why can he be shot so many times and still be alive? Dan Stevens basically portrays a charming terminator in this movie.

Main character could have been a little less creepy when smiling at everyone, but overall it was good.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Audience Member I'm staggered u gave this film 92% lol,, just violent nothing else, usa selling huge guns left&right last thing they need is diabolical inspiration like this, was a really cheap Take on a classic Ryan Gosling film but the main actor isn't any good at all at playing the crazy gosling style, also the music was the sort of stuff I could make quickly with today's epic tech being a producer, the story was thin at best, directing ridiculously basic no style, i could go on & on, im stunned,, can see y this is called Rotten tomatoes again because that 92% review is defo 1 of those, absolutely tragic if this is the way films are going baffles me people read these scripts and want to make and take part in this,, HORRIFIC, and to think I absolutely love Tarantino, scorcese etc but man this is the conplete opposite of those masterpieces, no style, finesse, quality 😔 hopefully the director dosent make any other violent films cause god he can't do it at all Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Sarfaraz A Simon Barrett wrote this Adam Wingard film. The cast includes Dan Stevens, Lance Reddick, Maika Monroe, and others. The film follows the story of a strange young man, David (Dan Stevens), who knocks on the door of a mourning mother, Laura (Sheila Kelley), who has lost her son in US-NATO-occupied Afghanistan. David appears to make their life easier by resolving their kids' issues, such as assisting their younger son, Luke (Brendan Meyer), in adjusting to his school where he is regularly violently bullied by his seniors. David also assists the father, Spencer (Leland Orser), in securing his job by killing a business competitor. Anna (Maika Monroe), the slain soldier's younger sister, dislikes David for some reason. Spencer does not want his daughter Anna to date a young guy who has known her since childhood; but, Spencer has no problem allowing a total stranger to live in the house near his daughter's room. He failed to persuade his wife not to let strangers into the house, but he expects his daughter to obey his house rules. Lance Reddick, who plays Major Carver, is shown to be quite sensitive to the news of David's whereabouts and prepares to go after him while understanding the possible risk. Nonetheless, he brought just a small number of elite forces, who were quickly taken out, and they were not even in a covert position before approaching the home from whence they received the information about David's location. The viewers are not informed about what happened to Anna's incarcerated lover. How could David survive a gunshot and a knife stab in the neck? The only injury we notice is David limping. The film had some wonderful moments, but it devolved into absurdity. The half of the story is solid, as are the acting and directing.
