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 movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

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. Mar 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. Mar 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

[A] satisfyingly unpredictable meditation on female agency, in a culture in which women are too often treated as a man's possession. Mar 6, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

[Winterbottom] has a great feeling for atmosphere, with lots of bustling street scenes and seedy hotel rooms, but it never translates to anything close to excitement. Mar 6, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A thriller that ambles along when it's supposed to be antic, that takes too many shortcuts in plot and character development. Mar 27, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A serviceable, low-key kidnap caper that turns out to be more of a travelogue than a thriller. Mar 25, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Winterbottom's confident technique holds us for only half the running time of The Wedding Guest, a flimsy thriller about a tight-lipped lone wolf possibly named Jay. Mar 21, 2019 | Full Review…

The plot is a bit thin and lacking in big action moments. But the chemistry between the tightly wound Patel and the poker-faced Apte, a fast-rising Bollywood star, is electrifying, and one hopes they each have more opportunities to smolder on the screen. Mar 21, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
