Greatest, and Bravest, Movie About Terrorism

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2019)

This is the type of movie that should have been made years ago about the attack on the World Trade Center. Indeed the script and direction of this harrowing, brutal masterpiece might easily serve as a model for such a project should any studio in "Hollywood" have the courage to spend a huge amount of money on something that is not a super-hero or kiddie-crap sure thing. HOTEL MUMBAI is professional movie-making of the highest order, as ruthless in depicting the carnage of the attack on the great hotel as it is in showing the stupid and evil religious fundamentalism of the killers. You would think a movie with so many characters might be hard to follow, but it is not; nor is there a wasted moment anywhere. Suspenseful and involving from start to finish, it also is a tribute to the selfless heroics of the employees of the great hotel. This is the first truly significant movie of the year.
