Review of Hotel Artemis (2018) by Rebecca31 — 22 Jul 2018

Look I know everyone is waiting for Mission Impossible: Fallout but that doesn't mean you have to starve yourself of your latest action movie fix. So why not check out Hotel Artemis and I promise you won't be disappointed. Hotel Artemis is the predictable and entertaining action movie we need right now.

Set in a near future Los Angeles during an extreme mass riot, Sterling K. Brown and his brother, Brian Tyree Henry run into some trouble and get themselves checked into the mythical Hotel Artemis. Sure it basically takes the hotel idea from John Wick, only this time it's a secret hospital for criminals. Members only of course and complete with its own set of rules. No killing the other patients etc. Meet Jodi Foster as the nurse, throw in Dave Bautista and Jeff Goldblum for good measure and you're good to go. It wastes no time getting started, builds on the increasing atmosphere and the impending feeling that everything is spiraling out of control. You don't have to do a whole lot of thinking for this one. It's short, to the point and skips the excessive plotsplaining. Everything an action movie should be, over the top fun with just the right amount of dark humour. Highly entertaining and highly recommended.
