The Guest - 2014 - 5/10

Recently discharged soldier shows up at doorstep of family of his combat buddy. Recently deceased.
Politely gains their trust with -
“He wanted to me tell you he loved all of you.” and “I would have been here earlier only I was in the hospital.”
Red flag alert for any family other than a movie family! What kind of hospital?
Aarrgghh, they never catch on. Instead they confide and reveal themselves.
Straight off the audience sees Dan Stevens is wound tighter than a rabbit trap.
First half of the film actually pretty good, before the plot bounds into the Land of the Preposterous.
Experimentation - civilian contractors - mercenaries - don’t wonder.
Not that I have to have explanations, in fact I enjoy ambiguous narratives. Yet the script laid down miles of plot rail and left numerous questions suspended.
Better for non-demanding action buffs.
