Hotel Artemis
As rioting rocks Los Angeles in the year 2028, disgruntled thieves make their way to Hotel Artemis -- a 13-story, members-only hospital for criminals. It’s operated by the Nurse, a no-nonsense, high-tech healer who already has her hands full with a French assassin, an arms dealer and an injured cop. As the violence of the night continues, the Nurse must decide whether to break her own rules and confront what she’s worked so hard to avoid.

CommentsThe action sci-fi crime drama film “Hotel Artemis” explores strong impact themes of crime, robbery, revenge, friendship, violence, safe havens for criminals, loss, violent protests and assassination. Themes are presented with dark tones within the context of a futuristic science fiction film in a technologically advanced world. These themes are complex and mature, aimed at a more mature audience and may be confusing to cognitively immature viewers under 16 years. The potentially confusing nature is intensified by the plot somehow linking various criminals in complicated ways. Some social considerations, including revenge killings, apparent unmotivated murders and killing of police officers, contribute to the strong impact and potential moral harm. Themes of revenge killings, crime, robbery and murder are also inappropriate for viewers younger than 16 years who may be morally misled by it, and/or be upset and disturbed, particularly given the violent presentations, which includes scenes of violent killings and aggressive language, with the sometimes graphic nature of violence potentially resulting in psychological harm. This is particularly pronounced given the sense of threat and menace, which is underscored by the enhanced audio-visual effects of the cinematic format.

Ilan Preskovsky quote iconNone of this makes Hotel Artemis a particularly great film and it certainly never quite lives up to its potential but it is effortlessly entertaining and makes great use of its excellent cast, is delivered with plenty of trashy b-movie flare and has the good grace to neither overstay its welcome nor take itself too seriously.

Tomatometer quote icon Hotel Artemis has a few flashes of wit and an intriguing cast, but mostly it’s just a serviceable chunk of slightly futuristic violence -- which might be all its audience is looking for.
