a review of 皇家酒店谋杀案

I'd describe Bad Times at the El Royale as an intriguing blend of Barton Fink (Coen brothers) and Tarantino's The Hateful Eight. All performances were strong. I particularly enjoyed the cool old-timer Jeff Bridges (please let my hair be like his hair when I'm his age). But I was also impressed by Cynthia Erivo's voice and acting talent. The brooding sense of mystery, drenched in an effective 1950s/1960s neon light motel atmosphere was also well-done, and this is the first time I realized that Dakota Johnson is the daughter of my Miami Vice childhood hero Don Johnson. She sure inherited part of his looks.
