Review of Bad Times at the El Royale (2018) by Dawdlingpoet — 20 Nov 2021
If you've seen this film, you'll realise that the title is a bit of an understatement(!). Its a dark and, by the end quite gripping, multi-layered thriller/drama film and it reminded me of the film Vantage Point.
Every character has a background that we learn about as the plot unfolds. The setting is at times quite stylish - I thought there had been strong attention to detail, with some rooms/areas featuring bright colours.
Also, I enjoyed Darlene's soulful singing. I thought it was quite engrossing and so I'd recommend it - it is a bit gritty but it's not what I'd regard as unnecessarily bloodily violent. However, if you are especially squeamish then you may want to stay away from this I suppose but for a 15 rated film (in the UK), its not one of the most visually upsetting or gory films I've seen, personally.
