Hotel Artemis (2018)
3/10
Admire The Attempt, But Doesn't Get It Right
12 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I went in knowing nothing and having heard nothing about Hotel Artemis. You can't always put into words why something doesn't work, but you can just tell when it doesn't. A few questions I had after finishing this movie--

Did the director want me to attach emotionally with Nurse because of a few 15-second flashbacks? Was her quirkiness supposed to be endearing? It didn't feel authentic at all.

Did every line of dialogue have to pass a catch-phrase test so that it could be repeated later on in the movie?

Was i supposed to pity Acapulco because he let his own life dreams go by while he attempted to drag his brother along.... in a life of crime? And why didn't the guy they stole the diamonds from just tell them they belonged to the Wolf?

What was the point of Nice drawing a line in the hallway? She started kicking there asses before they crossed the line anyway!

Why was the news coverage able to predict the movement of the riots so precisely? That must've been the most organized city-engulfing riot in history.

If the Wolf was so vicious, why didn't he just hold hostage some real doctors at a hospital instead of risking his life to drive an hour?

Why would anyone think Hotel Artemis was a myth? There was huge freaking neon sign visible for miles around that they kept panning across in long distance city shots.
