Brown, Jeff Goldblum, Brian Tyree Henry <\/strong>and<strong> Zachary Quinto.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tagline: <em>Los Angeles 2028. A secret hospital for criminals with three simple rules: No guns. No cops. No killing the other patients.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Overview:&nbsp; Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The tagline for <em>Hotel Artemis<\/em> perfectly sets up the story.&nbsp; In the near future LA is a war zone.&nbsp; Riots are raging.&nbsp; Brothers Sherman (Brown) and Lev (Henry) use the riots to provide cover for their bank robbery.&nbsp; Things go sideways and Lev is shot.&nbsp; Cops are killed.&nbsp; The brothers make a getaway and head for the Hotel Artemis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <em>Hotel Artemis<\/em> would easily fit in the <em>John Wick<\/em> Universe.&nbsp; It&#8217;s like the Continental, but instead of being a hotel, it is actually a secret hospital for criminals who have membership.&nbsp; All guests, prior to entry, must give up their weapons and receive a code name.&nbsp; The Hotel Artemis is run by an older nurse (Foster) who is a stickler for the rules.&nbsp; She&#8217;s assisted by Everest (Bautista) and they make a great team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When Sherman and Lev arrive, there are two other &#8220;guests&#8221; at the hotel.&nbsp; One is there on a secret mission to commit murder.&nbsp; To complicate matters, Sherman learns that in their heist Lev stole diamonds belonging to&nbsp; Orian &#8220;The Wolf King&#8221; Franklin (Goldblum) and he is now in route to the hotel!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;m surprised that <em>Hotel Artemis<\/em> didn&#8217;t do better at the box office.&nbsp; The characters are well written, it has a great cast, seems like a natural for the <em>John Wick<\/em> crowd and has a great mix of action, drama and comedy.&nbsp; Getting Jodie Foster to play the Nurse was a win.&nbsp; She&#8217;s great.&nbsp; Sterling K. Brown is also a standout.&nbsp; I&#8217;d love to see him in another action or heist film.&nbsp; Dave Bautista is perfect as Everest, the nursing assistant who takes his job very seriously.&nbsp; The camera loves Sofia Boutella (who can blame it?) and she&#8217;s believable when the action gets rough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Hotel Artemis<\/em> is a movie that I will enjoy revisiting because it&#8217;s so much fun.&nbsp; It easily rates 4 of 5 stars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_b.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/2022\/z050422zview_hotelartemis2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"353\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hotel Artemis&nbsp; (2018) Director: Drew Pearce Writers: Drew Pearce Starring: Jodie Foster, Sofia Boutella, Dave Bautista, Sterling K.
