Hotel Artemis 2018

     The Nurse runs a high-security, members only hospital for high-rolling criminals in Los Angeles CA.  There is rioting in a near-future LA and the hospital is under siege.  A bank robber checks in his injured teammates and their $18 million in jewels.  Mob boss Wolf King and the police are next to arrive.  Rooms for patients are referred to as dark rooms because criminals can go into Hotel Artemis without the police finding out.  The rooms are named Niagara, Honolulu, Acapulco and Nice.  The patients are referred to by their room names and never their real names.  One patient is called Waikiki because he shares the Honolulu room with his brother. 

     Jody Foster is acting in the role of The Nurse and she doesn’t look at all like herself??  She’s older, scruffier and in charge.  There are a lot of big names in the cast but the movie is very dark and not that interesting?  Actually it isa disappointment!!  1 ½* (I really didn’t like this movie)
