Powerful, gripping entertainment!

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2019)

We just watched Hotel Mumbai, and were on the edge of our seats for the entire two hours. I can't say that about many movies these days, so I consider this a jewel of a movie that I will keep for future viewing pleasure, and to lend to my friends. I don't know how accurate it is in comparison to the actual event, but it serves as a graphic reminder that New York is not the only city to suffer an attack by terrorists. The movie seemed so realistic that it was easy to forget that the characters were acting. Also, we are usually turned off by foreign movies due to the problem of trying to understand the dialog. No problem here. Further, it is strange to see so many reviewers complaining about the violence in Hotel Mumbai. Compared to any of today's action or Western flicks, this one is tame in comparison.
