In some vague near future, slightly more advanced than where we are now in a society that is collapsing in on itself, two brothers are trying to complete a heist. Wounded, they seek the Hotel Artemis. It is a private hospital created specifically for the criminal element. It is run by the Nurse and her assistant Everest (he is fixit man, security and policy reminder). If you do not have membership, you cannot get in.
Things get tough for the brothers when a wounded Gangster they just stole from shows up needing medical intervention. Will anyone get out alive? Is there a setup that was able to bypass the security of the Hotel Artemis?
First time director Drew Pearce delivers a simple and straight forward action film. It almost feels like a John Wick spin-off. It is full of crazy action scenes, unique characters and a lead you root for in Sterling K. Brown.
Foster gives a great “world weary” performance, a woman who took the pieces of her shattered life and put them back together as best she could. Dave Bautista as Everest is remarkably engaging. Jeff Goldblum, well, this is Jeff Goldblum.
Hotel Artemis does not reinvent the wheel. But it is a whole lot of fun.
