The concept stands and falls with ensemble that has barricaded behind armored walls. And that's dazzling. Charlie Day plays a sleazy arms dealer, Sterling K. Brown is recommended as a street savvy bank robber for bigger tasks, his bror being shot is played by Brian Tyree Henry (Paperboi from Atlanta series). But y are all surpassed by trained dancer Sofia Boutella (The Mummy) as an assassin with melee experience. May your Hollywood, please, finally give a lead role, it is long overdue.
Jodie Foster is playing in his own league anyway. As you slouches through corridors of your decaying Art Deco palace to provide fallen angels in burning City of Angels, equipped only with a medical suitcase and a children's cassette recorder, which plays songs from a better time, has something touching. I don't know why she just returned for this movie from her cinematic sabbatical, but Foster gives hotel Artemis a Gravitas that perfectly matches crumbling facades of this used future.
