Excruciating Violence Creates Palpable Tension

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2019)

Ignore the negative reviews. This movie creates a horrific tension of senseless violent death dealt by brainwashed drones of a hijacked group of young zealots. It's down to good versus evil as closely to how it played out while still being a movie. It gets across the paralyzing uncertainly of those spared the initial wave of killing as to what to do next. Hotel Mumbai is a tense and excruciating emotional ride soon enough as the slow start is soon forgotten. The civilized world is far too often simply not prepared, often in a state of denial. Tragedy arrives just as shown here - and there's no do-over making this a painfully important film with a steep learning curve. I hope everyone sees this.
