Familiar times

Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)

Written & directed by Drew Goddard this film stars Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson and John Hamm. A group of strangers staying at a hotel on the California/Nevada state border all have their secrets.

An unkind person might call this a cheap Tarantino knock off, the film certainly does not live up to Tarantino's level of quality and has a lot of familiar elements but is still a decent watch. There are maybe just too many things mashed together here for the film to stand on it's own two feet but it remains enjoyable. At times the direction gets a little frustrating but not too detrimental to the film.
