Bad Times at the El Royale (7.7/10)
Movie Plot
The movie starts with a guy checking into the holtel hiding some money under the floor in one of the rooms and I kind of assumed that this money would he the main story driver which it wasn't. It's just one of the elements as there each of the 4 guests are totally unrelated and each kind of have their thing going on. This makes for a story that has a ton of coincidences and statistically is near impossible but it's fun and it just works. This movie also has a lot of twists and turns which was nice and kept things interesting all the way.
Image Screen
The movie also has a nice cast with Jeff Bridges, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, & Cynthia Erivo who were cast perfectly. There is also a famous actor who came in the picture later in the movie coming as somewhat of a surprise. The entire setting and location for this movie was perfect, I liked the timeframe it was set in also and the music & sound were excellent.
Trailer Full Of Spoilers.

Conclusion
This movie is really hard to talk about as it's best to go in fully blind. If you are looking for a good time watching a 2 Hour 20 Minute movie with an interesting story that works and told from an interesting angle with many twists and turns. All while the cinematograpy, acting, & soulds are top notch, Bad Times at the El Royale certainly is an option. I'm really glad that I finally watched it and give it a Solid 7.7/10.
