does a good job of a real incident, along with armie hammer

This is the best version of this movie, a true story of courage, wit, selflessness, and survival. Its thrilling and captivating. An absolute for a home theater!

Normal people stepping up to help others when the authorities are unable or unwilling. Probably embellished a bit, but primarily a true representation. Amazing that 7 years after 9-11 the Indian authorities were so ill-prepared.

The whole cast and crew was Outstanding. The plot was very riveting, shocking and had me tense for the whole film.

A rather interesting movie based on a true story and it can really make you think.

Very dramatic, tragic circumstances, the hotel staff were so selfless in helping the guests through the ordeal.

Excellent movie!!! Worth having in your movie collection

Great true life movie and it makes one question how and why things make people do what they do

Great DVD full of action from beginning to the end.

I was very impressed by the acting performances, and the story was very good.

A great movie. Not a fan of these types of movies but this one was great.

Good movie, lots of action. Actors performances are good.

Enjoyed this movie keeps your interest through the whole movie

This is an outstanding and realistic movie that depicts the horrible 2008 Islamic terrorist attack in Mumbai, India. The acting is well done, for all the characters, from the hotel staff, victims, police, and even the terrorists. The script is very well written in giving the hotel staff and guests realistic and charming personalities. The audience will be able to quickly bond to the hotel staff due to the great acting. It is simply scary and realistic in watching the victims try to hide and escape the terrorists hunting them down in the hotel. When watching the movie, think what you would do in trying to escape and survive a similar situation. What would you do if you had a child who was also trapped in the hotel. Simply a fantastic movie and worth watching for the realism. The hotel staff are truly brave for their sacrifices in protecting the hotel guests from the terrorists. What is disappointing, is the real life fact that the terrorist leader responsible for planning the attack has not been caught or arrested by the Pakistani government. Something to think about and ask why.

If we have to keep making action movies out of the most unspeakably horrifying terrorist attacks of the 21st century (and that’s still up for debate), they might as well be as lucid and humane as Anthony Maras’ “Hotel Mumbai.” A dramatization of the November 2008 ambush on India’s largest city, the film — it should go without saying — is harrowing to the extreme. Almost unbearable, in fact. However, Maras’ powerful debut feature only deserves so much credit for its immaculate craft. It isn’t hard to pillage riveting entertainment from the scene of a real massacre, and scavenging the dead for cheap suspense often is closer to robbing graves than it is to making art. The value of a movie like “Hotel Mumbai,” or “U-July 22,” or “United 93” is not and cannot be measured by how engaging it is to watch. The grisly spectacle is only a means to an end. What redeems “Hotel Mumbai” from morbid opportunism is that, in all but its slickest and most Hollywood moments, the thrills of Maras’ heart-wrenching re-enactment are never an end unto themselves. Even when a desperate Armie Hammer is running around in search of his missing baby, or a stoic Dev Patel is delivering a covert audition to be the next James Bond, the movie is leveraging its sick violence to humanize the people on either side of it.
