Hotel Artemis (2018)

An average movie

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since there was a solid cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, if you are familiar with the John Wick franchise, this movie will really feel like it was some kind of spin-off focusing on the Continental (which did get a mini-series in 2023). So, basically, because of the super famous franchise, this movie did feel rather derivative after all but it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t entertaining though. Indeed, the mood was neat and it was visually not bad at all. However, what really worked in this movie was the cast though (Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella, Dave Bautista, Brian Tyree Henry, Charlie Day, Jenny Slate, Zachary Quinto, Jeff Goldblum). Indeed, even though all their chara” read more

“Hotel Artemis is a damn fine slice of midnight movie bravado, thanks in part to a heavy seasoning of John Carpenter aesthetics (think Escape From New York and Assault on Precinct 13), that I enjoyed watching way more than I thought I would.

The Awes:

- The overall concept was excellent: a den of thieves trapped in a building with the world crumbling outside of them

- Jodi Foster looking like a weathered Brad Dourif giving us one of her most memorable performances in years

- Dave Bautista as a proud HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL, complete with a cholo accent

"First viewing - Jan. 9th It's interesting to me that I never saw a single trailer for Hotel Artemis. I think I might have seen a poster for it at one point, and saw the title among the options during its theatrical run, but nothing really led me to seek it out. But then my brother from another mother had mentioned he wanted to see it, and I saw it pop up on a couple of best of 2018 lists (never near the top, mind you, but still), so I decided to give it a look. Now rumor has it that the market"
