Review of Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) by Ginak — 16 Oct 2018
Who knows what this movie is? I heard that some critics likened Drew Goddard’s work to that of Quentin Tarantino. I don’t think so. I think Goddard’s style is totally his own, and the film was a lot of fun, dragging in all sorts of cultural artifacts – like cults and shell shock – all elements in a search for the “gold” (the spoils of the robbery that kicked the plot off).
The cast was great, and totally believable, which is not easy in such an absurdist film where everyone was caught in a kind of sharply constructed and directed cultural maze. Reality starts things off, but then everything goes cockeyed.
I had a great time.
