Hotel Artemis seems very polarizing - my local critic went into rhapsodies over it. Haven't seen it but the ad campaign reminded me of all the Tarantino imitators that went straight to video in the mid 90's. Sterling deserves better!
If only Sodebergh had returned for this Oceans. Nice to see it did well at the box office though.
As I was walking out two men were talking about the film with one complaining that it was "too much". A sentiment my male friend had and I told him it needed to be and to get over it because child abuse isn't pretty or nice. We should be horrified by it. It's good that an actual child was cast as the child. Too often they have an older actress play much younger and then it gives men "an out" "But she looks much older than her age etc"

And that's exactly what it is. I always compare B movies like this to either SMOKIN' ACES which is a 10 or Ice-T's run of limited theater room/Cinemax constant MEAN GUNS which is like 4. Hotel Artemis is a 1. Maybe 2 because of Sterling and Sofia who kicks butt in this film.
I want all the best for Sterling! He's a gifted actor, handsome, sweet and he loves Justin Hartley who he would call if he ever got into trouble.
