The Wedding Guest makes a compelling argument for Dev Patel as an actor worthy of diverse leading roles, even if the movie's less than the sum of its action thriller parts.

The performances are perfectly solid and it always runs smoothly, but the film itself seems to take its leave of us with a shrug. July 19, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Dev Patel is uncharacteristically icy and mournful as a hired kidnapper in "The Wedding Guest," but there's little in this flat thriller to warrant accepting its invitation. March 15, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Like the best noirs, "The Wedding Guest" is an efficient crime thriller that clocks in at around 90 minutes. It's a B movie with style - the stuff that dreams are made of. March 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Director Michael Winterbottom seems to be too interested in psychology to be able to deliver an effective action thriller. However, great leads and an air of mystery hold your attention until the bitter end. July 22, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Despite good performances and an interesting milieu, The Wedding Guest doesn't deliver as an exciting genre piece or thought-provoking drama. Michael Winterbottom is a master in many areas but the thriller seems beyond him this time. July 19, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
