The year is 2028, and Los Angeles is a city gripped by riots where martial law prevails and violence is commonplace. Within this environment, the Hotel Artemis operates as a unique establishment—a medical facility offering emergency care exclusively to its criminal members. Jodie Foster portrays The Nurse, who manages the hotel alongside her imposing orderly, Everest (Dave Bautista). Together, they enforce the rules and ensure that only members receive advanced treatment within the facility’s walls. Guests are assigned room names based on geographical locations, and a strict code of conduct governs their behavior—no weapons, no killing other guests, and so forth. The Hotel Artemis provides cutting-edge medical services, including nanite technology, organ printing, robotic A.I. treatment, all seeming like science fiction in 2018. Sterling K. Brown plays Waikiki, a man attempting to leave his criminal life behind while maintaining his membership at the Artemis. He and his brother arrive seeking treatment after an injury sustained during a heist, finding refuge from the city's unrest. The hotel’s services keep it consistently full, with residents including an arms dealer named Acapulco (Charlie Day) and an assassin called Nice (Sofia Boutella). Waikiki’s past connection to Nice adds tension, as guests remain wary of one another despite the rules designed to prevent conflict. Further complicating matters, news arrives that the “Wolf King” of Los Angeles (Jeff Goldblum) is on his way. The Nurse adheres to a first-come, first-served policy, which infuriates his son (Zachary Quinto), who then attempts to block access for anyone arriving before his father—who also happens to own the hotel. Adding another layer of complexity, a police officer from The Nurse’s past appears seeking assistance, triggering a dangerous series of events. The film delivers an original and entertaining narrative with memorable characters, compelling performances, and just enough action to maintain momentum while emphasizing its character-driven drama. First-time director Drew Pearce skillfully directs his cast and utilizes the script to create a unique and enjoyable movie that is definitely worth seeing. It's gratifying to witness Jodie Foster’s talent once again as she fully commits to portraying a damaged and troubled woman who compensates for a lack of conventional glamour with unwavering strength. I am hoping this film finds success, because I would welcome more stories set within the world of the Hotel Artemis; I genuinely enjoyed it from beginning to end. 4 stars out of 5
