Hotel Artemis [Blu-ray/DVD] [2018]

Just finished watching this movie and I have to say not bad. It has a some very good action and it's original. You really feel bad for the nurse that is trying to run this place the best she can. Give this film a try you'll definitely be entertained.

I enjoyed Hotel Artemis. It has a very interesting concept. It also has some twists. A little reminiscent of some of the concepts in John Wick. It might make for a fun crossover.

I rented this on Redbox and loved it so much I went out the next day and bought it. It's an easy watch. Set in the future. Kinda like the John Wick Hotel that is a neutral space. Jodie Foster's character is great. Dave Bautista's character is definitely the comedic relief. I'm hesitant to say much more other than it's very interesting and different. I really appreciate it for what it is.

Jodie Foster does not come out of her shell very often, and here she surprises us in the role of the Nurse, looking after the Hotel Artemis and its patients; criminals who could never be treated for their wounds in regular hospitals. With interesting characters and unexpected twists and turns, this story kept me glued to my seat until the very end. And all this in stunning UHD!

If John Wick took place in the Judge Dredd universe, Hotel Artemis could comfortably rest somewhere in that timeline. It succeeds on a great cast, a colorful and well-realized setting, and enough quirks to differentiate itself despite being plainly derivative of more well-known works.

So this movie had a lot of bad reviews. Decided to wait to watch it at home and it wasn't as bad as people said but, it was not that great either. I mean if you are into this genre now, like Atomic Blonde or John Wick, then go for it. But if you aren't then don't waste your time.

I feel like this movie doesn't get enough appreciation. Is it a mega blockbuster? No. Is it Oscar worthy? No. Is it a lot of fun, with a lot if action? Absolutely! Plus it has Sofia Boutella and she's always great.

Ok, this wasn't the classic action flick given the stars were all confined to a hotel for nearly the entire movie, but I did enjoy the characters. Jody Foster will not win any awards for her performance here, but so what, her role made the movie!
