My initial thought was, this is a Coen brothers film; from the look of it, and the story.

Starts off a bit slow, then rips the rug out from under you. I liked the decor. It should have been a good deal more dirty and worn, based on the math, tho. Its heyday was early 50s (based on wall photos) and this was 1969...I'm a sucker…

Great film noir film set mainly in the 1970's. Loved the cinematography, the soundtrack, the ensemble cast and the layered storytelling. My favourite character/actor was Cynthia Erivo playing Darlene Sweet who is the most badass character…

Very boring. Good actors bad story.

This tried to be a Tarantino movie, a Hitchcock movie, and a Wes Anderson movie all at once. And failed at all of them. The pacing was awful and many of the shots went on for much too long. My boyfriend and I were bored for most of it.

Didn't enjoy this.

An entertaining plot. I didn't understand how the bare chested hunk got into the action near the end, but I don't care as this was just fluffy entertainment.

Better than I expected. Nice piece of pulp fiction set in the late 60’s at a remote resort on the Calif/Nevada line. Interesting group of quirky characters when we first meet them, and eventually we find out who is who, as they all seems…

Reminded me of a Quinten Tarentino movie. Very Bizarre with violence, but good.

This movie started off so strong that I was planning to give it five stars. John Hamm was a great beginning but when he left the picture, the movie lost steam and steadily got worse. Some scenes were predictable. Some were contrived.…

An odd ball thriller with odd ball characters. Gotta pay attention (we had to rerun a scene to see what had happened).

This kinda got bad reviews and dropped from theaters, but it's actually pretty good, if a bit derivative of other, better crime films, namely those of the Coen Brothers. In fact, Jeff Bridges is even in this. This is the kind of movie…

Good movie. Attention to detail and crafting characters. Great acting even the less capable actors pulled it off. Watch.

RE: Violent Movie-- This movie takes place at a hotel called the El Royale. The Nevada/Califorinia state boundary literally runs down the middle of the hotel. This hotel is important because some bank robbers in the 1960s buried $2…

Random group of bad people showed up in hotel and really bad things broke lose. Rather bloody and violent.

Different stories and fates mingling to a final conclusion. Much violence and death. It takes it's sweat time. Amusing and entertaining with some thrills and chills.

This movie, like Tarantino's latest venture, is for those of is who lived or grew up in the 60s. A time of discovery, of freedom, of empowerment. It was also the era of learning distrust, of parents, government, religion, all of which has…

A let down for sure. Too many characters, too much going on and way too long. Good cast though.

I guess I kinda liked it. It was weird, for instance, WHY is Brit CYNTHIA ERIVO, who is portraying 'HARRIET' Tubman in an upcoming feature, playing a fake character based on DARLENE LOVE, singing REAL songs by her, and others of the time,…

...and a bad time in front of the TV screen. Disappointed here, given the good cast--and the good performances they provide. The concept means the audience has pretty heavy "suspension of disbelief" to shoulder. Why, for instance, do…

The highlight of this film for me was Chris Helmsworth's taking off his clothes and strolling into the ocean,his backside tastefully shaded in sunlight. Like Mel Gibson's bare backside in Lethal Weapon, it was a surprise. The movie starts…

Nice try to recreate a cult / noir film, but somehow to me it was more copying rather than getting inspiration from older classics. Though watch without prejudice, you may like it

The El Royale....A little piece of HELL!
