2016 The Guest Room by Chris Bohjalian 3.0 Stars

A bachelor party goes wrong when the hired strippers end up killing their 'bodyguards'. The party host's work and personal life devolve and the girls, who turn out to be victims of sex slavery, try to avoid the police and the people who want to kill them. -- Not as exciting as that sounds as it's more family drama than thriller --An ok pageturner.
