The Host

Why the low reviews 🤔Very odd This firm is actually a very good watch .Keeps you guessing right up until the end Some amount of rubbish out there with high reviews ,yet this film has great acting .Good story and some twists . It's worth watching .You will not be disappointed you did .

This film looks good with London and Amsterdam locations, has some good performances, but is seriously let down by a fragmented and disjointed story. What starts as a thriller turns into a horror film about half way through, it's like watching two separate movies in the one.

This film had potential, all the film-makers needed to do was keep the plot consistent. The whole experience is ultimately unrewarding and disappointing. Perhaps they were trying to make it quirky, but it just comes across as silly.

This film is best avoided.

Average: Steal cash, gamble it, then take offer, go wrong home and be cut ! Story plot is initially interested, but later it turns into typical slaughter house. Thus a good story goes vanished. A bank clerk stolen customers' cash and gambles it but loose all suddenly. One mysterious man offer him to pay his debt on condition that he go to Amsterdam and exchange the briefcase. But after reaching Amsterdam things to go wrong there and situation turns into slaughter movie. A woman is a man slaughterer. She is so clever that no one could stop her or resist her. Wow! We need super hero here.

This movie had a lot of potential. The trailer was great and the movie had a decent storyline. It's too bad that the acting ruined it. Especially the actress who played Verra, she was just bad. Whoever casted her ruined the movie. Should of picked a stronger actress, possibly could of saved the film.

This movie feels very long-winded and drawn out. There are so many different threads that don't really tie up together very well. I think it was trying to be unpredictable, but that didn't work. It is very 'Hitchcock-esq', with references to Psycho and other Hitchcock movies. It also feels film noir.

The cast are very strong and do their very best with the story/plot. It just doesn't gel together well.

We begin with a man in debt, working for a bank, he likes to gamble, a lady deposits 50,000 pounds, he gambles, he loses.....it goes on and he eventually ends up at this fancy guest house with an attractive host, who isn't as she appears. He disappears. His brother then hits the trail to search for her. The cops are in there too, and a burger bar man. Shall I continue? No, let's not.
