Hotel Artemis
Hotel Artemis is an 2018 film. The movie stars Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, and Sofia Boutella. The supporting cast include Jeff Goldblum, Charlie Day, Brian Tyree Henry, Jenny Slate, Dave Bautista, and Zachary Quinto. The movie takes place in a futuristic Los Angeles.
In 2028, the water supply of the world becomes the main form of currency. When the private organizations take advantage of this, the public unrest is at a boiling point, resulting in a massive riot. On that same night, criminals are injured and they call upon a underground nurse who runs a hotel for them. Subscription based, you can enter if you're a member. The movie suggest that there are other hotels like this in other cities. A bank robbery goes wrong and one of the parties is injured leading them to the hotel. One of the major bosses of the underworld is injured and goes to the same hotel. During the earlier robbery, the diamonds are from the boss, which they stole. As the night unfolds at the hotel, the boss wants his diamonds back. Can they all survive?
Interesting post apocalyptic take on an future Los Angeles. The characters were pretty interesting. Zachary Quinto's character was so over the top, I had a hard time with the movie after his appearance. Of course, the convergence of all these parties in LA on the same night was very interesting. Leading to lots of action.
