R.S.V.P. compares itself to Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope" and Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians". I have never seen either, but I know of both of them and I would guess that R.S.V.P. could stand along side as a good thriller. I believed this movie would have been a mystery and it toys with that idea until the first murder occurs. There is no attempt to conceal the killer's identity but only to show the masterful ways he conceals the murder victims. The ending is close to being predictable. The movie hints at little things which will be unearthed sooner or later.
Nick Collier (Rick Otto) is the main character here and he is throwing a party for his best friend, Jimmy Franklin (Lucas Babin), who is leaving town. All of their best friends are invited and soon, after Jimmy fails to show up, begin wondering where he could be, assuming he is getting blitzed or at a local strip club or something.
Jason Mewes plays Terry, a stoner. Terry is really just a rehashed Jay from Kevin Smith's movies set in another environment. Strange, I'm still not tired of it, yet.
The beautiful Brandi Andres is the lead female character, Jordan. I thought her performance was quite good, better than most that are usually cast in this type of movie and I was semi-impressed. Also, worthy of a mention is Nora Zehetner, who had a small part as Leigh Franklin. Something about her screen presence caught my eye, similar to Natalie Portman in "Closer", although she does not stick around too long and is not nearly as sexual.
This is a good movie to see if you are roaming through your local video rental store and can not seem to make up your mind and have seen all the newest blockbusters. I was not disappointed. 7/10
