4/10
Filled with loopholes but Dev's performance is amazing

Movie: The Wedding Guest IMDb: 5.8/10 Rotten Tomatoes: 44%

"The Wedding Guest" is a British American thriller drama movie that was first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018 starring Dev Patel, Jim Sarbh, and Radhika Apte. The story revolves around a kidnapper who got paid for kidnapping a bride from her wedding in Pakistan.

The first half was really engaging. But the movie suddenly twisted its genre from a thriller to a romantic movie. If it turned out as a thriller comedy, it could have been far better. There were many loopholes in the storyline. Some shots are really good though. But the most impressive part of the movie is Dev Patel. Jim and Radhika also gave their best here. But Dev overtopped everyone else's performances.

If Dev were not there, I would have skipped this film for sure. To my opinion, "The Wedding Guest" is a one-time watch movie.
