True Story Hollywood Nonsense

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2019)

I know that this movie is based on a true event but it really is terribly done. They Hollywoodized the "True" story with your typical formula writing. First, these characters seem to be able to move all over this hotel without being detected by the terrorists. They're banging on doors and yelling. Nobody hears them. They always seem to be looking the other way when they move from one room to another. The Terrorists must be deaf. I know this sounds mean but the lady with the baby irritated me. She reacts like a total idiot with her crying baby in her arms. Like the Terrorists can't hear this burping, farting gurgling baby? After a while I was rooting that they would be found and both shot dead for being stupid and loud. In the end, they both miraculously survive and just walk right out. Also, all these police are outside and none of them think it might be a good idea to go inside and stop the terrorists? They wait for 12 hours? Great response time. Well I guess that's India for you. They may be able to run a call center and Microsoft scam center but their Police are totally incompetent. Honestly, if you just watch it as an action movie its way better. You will not find any accuracy in what actually happened. I had no connection or empathy for any of the characters. I just kept thinking how dumb they are to not just leave the hotel. Break a window, smash a door open. Anything is better than wondering around in this aimless script of total Hollywood nonsense.
