Bad Times at the El Royale

[alobear]

I wasn't sure about going to see this film but I had a few hours to kill yesterday and figured why not? And I'm glad I did. It was weird and unsettling, unpleasant and bloody. But it was also well made, intriguing and the way it was all put together to gradually reveal all the stories was masterful. All the acting was top notch, especially Lewis Pullman as the hotel clerk. Plus, on a shamelessly shallow note, I think Chris Hemsworth has the best body in Hollywood at the moment and he's certainly not shy about showing it off!

I wouldn't recommend this film to everyone but if you like noir, twisty structures and you don't mind tension or sudden deaths, this may well be for you.

I like. all. those. things.

oh man, oh boy, oh goodie. Never has such a short review ramped my interest from 'eh, maybe' to 'going to book tickets RIGHT NOW' :DDDDD
