"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!

""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!"
