Hotel Artemis is located in Los Angeles, torn by a constant nighttime riot by a group of resident criminals. The hotel is a 13-room hospital for criminals only. That's operated by a nurse who is good at dealing with technology, must break its own rules to face that perpetual violence.
Essentially a loving, highly stylized homage to the kind of camp apocalyptia John Carpenter used to make; the only thing missing here is an Ernest Borgnine cameo and Kurt Russell scowling in an eye patch.
Yes, it's a shameless ripoff of John Wick. But you know what? It's a pretty darn fun one, with a firm grip on what kind of movie it is: a violent, guilty-pleasure romp.
The narrative doesn't come together especially well, but the concept and ensemble are so wildly appealing, I'm dying to spend even more time at the Artemis.
Give credit to Pearce - who is no stranger to the action genre, having served as a writer on Iron Man 3 - for coaxing these performances out of his cast.
A hallway standoff late in the picture is one of the most satisfying things I've seen this year...Like the best pulp treasures, Hotel Artemis is gritty, thrilling and funny.
