Lots of quirky fun. The last part stalled some but picked back up at the end. Cool to see a David Arquette and Ryan Reynolds at young ages.

An fun dark comedy.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A honest home-security system Salesman (David Arquette) has an affair with his first client (Kate Capshaw) and learns that his Rudeful boss (Stanley Tucci) and his business associate are Staging Residential Break-ins to boost thier company sales.Directed by Even Dunsky, which he Wrote the Screenply to This black comedy has a lot of moments of this dark humor film. Arquette gives one of his best performances. A missed at the Art-House Theaters but on video, has been giving an Cult Following. Based on a Play by Keith Reddin (All the Rage). Grade:A-."
David Arquette is a study in facial expressions

"The movie isn't much to shout about. The only thing which sustained my interest was David Arquette's acting and very expressive face. I think David can do more with his face than most actors can with their bodies."
THE ALARMIST!
Michael Anthony Brenton | The Other Side of the Known Universe | 10/13/2001

""The Alarmist" is a BLACK COMEDY starrting STANLEY TUCCI as Heinrich Grigoris, a corrupt security system salesman who BREAKS INTO HOMES to drum up new business! DAVID ARQUETTE is his naive new employee who falls for new customer KATE CAPSHAW! This movie is based on KEITH REDDIN's play "Life During Wartime"! This 1998 film is directed by Evan Dunsky! This is not a big comedy, but if you are fans of Tucci's acting, dollars to donuts you will get some measure of enjoyment out of watching this one! Plus, the TITLE is such a SUBTLE PUN!"
