Review of Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) by Htgamer — 25 Oct 2018
"Bad Times at the El Royale" is a neo-noir thriller movie set in the late '60s/early '70s. It's the kind of movie where several characters are by chance present in the same place, right when something happens that entails all of them.
This movie's got great acting and production values, a nice soundtrack of the '60s, and each major character has a touching backstory. Unfortunately the main plot (despite the twists and turns) is hardly original. You have already seen this kind of movie a dozen times before. And this is what makes this movie just good, but not great.
"Bad Times at the El Royale" is enjoyable for what it is, but it's not memorable either. If you want a more modern approach to this classic thriller genre, you'd better watch movies such as Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight".
