Hotel Artemis

Dark gritty fantasy action thriller.

Set in the near future (2028), in a secret members-only hotel/hospital for criminals, where you can only get treatment if you are a member and strictly follow the rules, this point is repeated several times. The décor is from the 1930's, though the medical technology is very futuristic. The main plot revolves around a drought in California which causes serious rioting. Several sub-plots (including a foiled bank robbery) converge on the hotel. The nurse provides frantic treatment, but I'm afraid her backstory, told through frequent flash-backs wasn't very interesting.

The scarce fight scenes are well choreographed, especially a fight scene towards the end involving the female Italian assassin character, resembled 'Atomic Blonde', the majority of the themes are a 'John Wick' rip-off.

In summary, this film resembled several other films but not consistently delivered as well.

6/10
