a5c7b9f00b Set in riot-torn, near-future Los Angeles, 'Hotel Artemis' follows the Nurse, who runs a secret, members-only emergency room for criminals. Hotel Artemis is a pretty fun time in my opinion. I went to a matinée showing of it and had the entire theater to myselfI watched this movie, and I'm really glad I chose to go see this in the theater versus renting it. The reason I'm glad is because the style of this movie is definitely one to be seen on the big screen. Style is what initially attracted me to this movie, well that and Jodie Foster. I've always been a big Jodie Foster fan, she is a fantastic actress and has such range with her talent. She does not disappoint here in her in first onscreen appearance since Elysium, 5 years ago. Her performance carries a good portion of the movie, and she is one of the main things we focus on. Sterling's character is also one we focus on, and gosh did I love him here, he was really great in his role. Everyone really did a good job and I really liked the characters, I thought the script gave them the depth they needed. The plot is pretty easy to follow, it's nothing too abstract but its enjoyable and holds the audiences attention all the way through. I'd never seem a movie quite like this one and I love that feeling because a lot of times we see recycled versions of other movies, but this one was pretty original and I like that. Hotel Artemis gets an 8/10, a good way to spend an hour and a half at the movies. Solid movie just don't expect mind blowing plot twists. Movie does start quickother reviews mention and it does slow down a bit but not to a crawl. Writing is good and acting is fine, not sure why some reviews are so hard on the movie. Towards the end of the movie you connect to several characters which may leave you hoping they make it out alive. SPOILER**** Jodie Foster and Dave Bautista do survive along with one other. Take the movie for what it is, a unique movie plot with great actors that don't disappoint. Though it boasts an agreeably preposterous scenario and a weird mixed bag of physicalities and acting styles — from Foster and Sterling K. Brown to Jenny Slate and Dave Bautista — the movie is itself an eye-rolling performance of cyber-pulp tropes and pop-movie excesses that undercuts its spotty pleasures at nearly every turn.
