Hotel
Artemis 4/10
This
movie was not terrible. It just seemed like whoever directed Hotel Artemis was out
of their depth. There is a really good cast of people including Jodie
Foster, Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Charlie
Day, Brian Tyree Henry, Jenny Slate, Dave Bautista, and Zachary
Quinto. Foster runs this hotel for criminals where the rules are that
no weapons are allowed, no non members, and no killing of guests.
Picture that hotel from John Wick but not as good. I like those kinda
rules like when criminals still have some sort of guidelines they
have to go by. This movie however seemed to break all these rules in
one night. It didn't seem. It did. During an insane night filled with
riots and curfews the most feared man that owns the hotel shows up,
Foster has to operate on him, and killers that know each other from
the past just happen to all be there at the same time.
There
were some characters that stuck out more than others but not for good
reasons. As much as I like Bautista I did not like the accent he was
saddled with. I liked his character though. Charlie Day was literally
Charlie Day. When he popped up on screen I hoped he wouldn't Charlie
Day so hard but he did. Foster is afraid of going outside after all
kinda bad shit happened to her son. I liked Boutella's character. She
was cool and had an awesome ass fight scene and I am glad that they
showed her kicking ass after being told how bad ass she was earlier.
Other than that I don't have too much to say. It looked cool. The
fights were done well. The story was just not all that interesting.
Oh. I watched this on Hoopla. If you have a library card look for
Hoopla and Kanopy for some free movies.
