BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE

A slowly burning film with mystery surrounding each of the seven strangers who visit the El Royale hotel. It reminded me somewhat of FOUR ROOMS where we get into a storyline and then it switches to someone else's backstory and repeats this formula. It kind of worked at first but once I was really into a storyline, I kind of got tired of being yanked out and having to start fresh with someone else's. A solid all around cast with a pleasing retro soundtrack. I do feel it outstayed it's welcome a little with a runtime of 2 hours and 21 minutes and by the end it was a little bit of a mess, but overall, I did have fun with it. Also, it was a nice switch to see Chris Hemsworth channeling his inner Jim Morrison as the villain Buddy Lee. 6.5/10
