It's operated by the Nurse, a heavy drinking, high-tech healer who already has her hands full with a French assassin, an arms dealer and her own demons. As the violence of the night continues, the Nurse must decide whether to break her own rules and confront what she's worked so hard to avoid It's great to see Foster lead a film after so long, and she's as good as ever as The Nurse, an agoraphobic, anxiety suffering person who only has criminals and her porter, Everest Bautista for company.
She's followed the rules of the place for 22 years, and now, in the middle of a riot, the hotel faces it's busiest night ever.

The setup was promising: a water-starved populace demands access to water, and riots break out while a bank heist is going down.
One of the thieves gets shot, and his brother takes them to an underground figuratively hospital that only services criminals. Once they Unfulfilled potential. Once they get to the hospital, the plot thickens, but it never gels. Unfortunately, everything is barely hinted at rather than being given the time to flesh out. The critical plot piece revolves around the nurse's son, but all we ever learn is what happened to him -- there is no emotional connection, hence little reason to care. The movie progresses like a series of snapshots with almost no context and threads left untied.
We learn that there is history, but we know nothing about it, so we aren't invested. It's a missed opportunity that mainly gets points for style and casting and is only worth watching if you can view for free.
Bertaut1 Aug 3, However, it is also a film which doesn't do a great deal right. And then it ends. It's not actually about anything. It's also predictable, with precious little substance.
It looks pretty though. In , riots are tearing Los Angeles apart. The film takes place primarily in the eponymous Hotel Artemis, a secret hospital for criminals in the heart of the city. The motley crew of characters, many of whom are known only by the name of the room in which they're staying, include Waikiki Sterling K. Brown and his brother Honolulu Brian Tyree Henry , bank robbers who have been involved in a shootout with police; Nice Sofia Boutella , an assassin who "only kills important people", and just so happens to be Waikiki's ex-girlfriend; and Acapulco a spectacularly miscast Charlie Day , a weapons dealer and all round weasel.
The hospital is run by "Nurse" Jodie Foster , an agoraphobic alcoholic haunted by visions of her past, with porter duties handled by Everest Dave Bautista. The hospital functions because all guests must adhere to a rigid set of rules the first of which is "don't kill the other patients" and a strict no weapons policy. Sounds pretty interesting doesn't it?
It's not. The dialogue is awful, the narrative beats can be seen coming a mile away, and the characters are all archetypes, with only Nurse really fleshed out. There's the loud-mouth snivelling weapons dealer, the gorgeous but oh-so-deadly assassin, the criminal kingpin and his screw-up son who just wants to be like dad, the skilled bank robber who spends most of his time trying to get himself out of the trouble caused by his unreliable brother, and the tough-as-old-boots medical professional who just wants to help people when in actual fact, she's beyond help herself.
True, most of the actors give it their all Bautista in particular gives a performance far superior to the material with which he has to work , but there's just no substance here, no depth.
