Unsparing in its depiction of violence and carnage, the movie meets an even greater challenge showing the myriad of ways people from every class, culture and creed found the courage and strength to unite and join forces in order to survive. Read full review

Writer/director Anthony Maras largely sticks to the dramatisation playbook, but does so in an effective, affecting and empathetic fashion. Read full review

Filmmaker Anthony Maras has made a chilling thriller, using extreme violence and high-wire tension to impressive effect, but it lacks deeper characterization. Read full review

Gary Thompson

Hotel Mumbai sometimes surrenders to melodrama and action-genre imperatives, and it mixes actual people like Oberoi with fictional composites in a way that strays from the stringent just-the-facts discipline of a docudrama like United 93. But there is value, too, in its subjective approach. Read full review

As a thriller it’s efficient, if formulaic, and technically proficient, if undistinguished. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Sep 12, 2018

Sitting through the harrowing events again nearly a decade later could hardly be described as entertainment, and the film plays to many of the same unseemly impulses that make disaster movies so compelling, exploiting the tragedy of the situation for spectacle’s sake. Read full review

Movie-release schedules are set by studios months in advance, and many are the movie that had the misfortune to open at an inopportune time. But Hotel Mumbai is responsible for myriad other poor creative decisions that make a spectacle of misery. Read full review

The film tells the story of the invasion and near destruction of the famous Taj Hotel in Mumbai, India by Jihad Terrorists. Starring Armie Hammer, Dev Patel and Jason Isaacs. the characters portray
those caught in the midst of this terrorist attack and the efforts of staff and guests to survive.
Were it not for the fact that this is a true story of an incident that actually occurred about 11 years ago in the city of Mumbai, India, it could easily be dismissed as simply another action film
made to suit the whims and tastes of a modern audience. However, knowing that all of what is depicted in the film did, in fact, take place, coupled with the excellent editing and interjecting of actual voices and newsreel film, it causes the audience to be riveted in their seats as the 2 hour film speeds by with action, drama and suspense.I give the film a 7.5 rating for it gives insight into not only the victims but the perpetrators as well and makes for a powerful theatrical experience.… Expand

Suspenseful, intense, and well-acted, "Hotel Mumbai" is an insightful biopic of the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the acts of bravery by the guests and hotel staff during those heinous attacks.

Even Dev Patel can't save 'Hotel Mumbai,' which relies too heavily on coincidental timing to amp up the drama while bogging down the story with numerous errors in logic and continuity.

I divorced a crazy wife, she married an Egyptian Arab guy, it's hard for me to watch movies from this region.
