Bad Times at the El Royale

Dark, gritty action drama.

The film starts with a gangster character burying a life changing bag if cash under the floorboards of a hotel, he's suddenly disturbed and brutally murdered. Immediately the film jumps forwards 10 years where we see seven diverse characters arrive and check-in at the same hotel, each character retires to their rooms and each room is a distinctive and destructive chapter.

Over the course of the night, through slipping timelines the developing plot is observed from the guest's individual points of view. Their background stories unravel and intertwine.

Obviously influenced by Tarantino, similar to 'The Hateful Eight' - this violent, twisty film will keep you guessing.
