This is a crime film around the fictional Hotel Artemis, an emergency hospital for criminals managed by The Nurse (Jodie Foster).

Accepting only paying members, the hospital provides world-class treatment facilities for villains, but is besieged by assassins with ulterior motives.

In the midst of a violent riot in Los Angeles, Jean Thomas finds out a painful secret from a client related to her son’s death. She makes a life-changing decision to break rules that aid the protection of the hospital’s clients. 

Hotel Artemis evokes similarities with The Continental hotel, a safe haven for underworld crime lords and assassins popularized in the John Wick films.

The film enlists Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Sterling K. Brown (Marshall), Sofia Boutella (The Mummy), Charlie Day (Pacific Rim: Uprising), Zachary Quinto (Star Trek Beyond), Jodie Foster (Elysium) and Dave Bautista (Avengers Infinity War, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2). 

Hotel Artemis opens this Friday at Century Cinemax, Acacia mall.
