Hotel Artemis

"Hotel Artemis, despite a kind of shrug of a plot, has character - and characters - to spare, and though much of it is an affectation, it's too fun write it all off as "steampunk.""

"It boasts snappy dialogue, memorable characters, and a gorgeously designed central location, but doesn't quite know what to do with any of the above."

"Mr. Pearce is...well-versed in staging and shooting decent action scenes, and building suspense enough to keep "Hotel Artemis" diverting in its overstuffed ambition."

"For all of its faults, there’s still plenty here to praise, the result of so much being thrown at the wall is that some of it will stick."

"The movie's premise is enjoyable, even if stitched together from a pile of dystopian hand-me-downs, and the comic moments are sharp. What fails is the pacing and, ultimately, the plot."

"A handful of amusing details in desperate need of a purpose, the film spends its first half looking for a compelling reason to exist, and its second half trying to disguise the fact that it can’t find one."

"Efficiently wild rather than wildly involving, entertaining but not indelible."

"Stylishly realised against a backdrop of violence and faded Hollywood glamour, Drew Pearce's vision of the near-future is laced with intrigue and dark humour."
