Hospitality

The derivative screenplay lacking wit and the filmmaking devoid of arresting style, Hospitality never gather narrative momentum despite its frequent plot developments.

"Chriqui proves that she's ready for the next phase in her career, whether it's in westerns or thrillers."

The story is certainly complicated enough but never in ways that are especially interesting and as the twists develop and the blood spills, most viewers will find it increasingly difficult to care much about any of it.

Hospitality doesn't break any molds for originality, but the dialogue is excellent, and for mostly being a bottle episode, only taking place in the house and the surrounding property, the lack of set changes doesn't deter from the story.

Even at 80 minutes, it's half an hour too long.

Hospitality is as safe and static as a thriller can get. It's a movie that's more technically and performatively interesting than exciting, scary, or even all that good.
