Ignore the 1 star morons who just want to be contrary or don't have the intellect to understand. The plan is to kill every westerner & non-Muslim in sight, no questions asked. They do this very efficiently. Killing is the headline grabber. But, the GREATER STORY is the brave staff who volunteered to stay behind to try & protect the guests & the "cat & mouse" game of the remaining survivors to remain alive. Pay close attention to 2 phone (true?)calls by the terrorists & you'll know what this slaughter is really about. AND IT'S NOT RELIGION. Although the battle cry is Allah ! This group & many others(happen to be Muslims) blame the West for all their woes & hate Western ways, & they will never succeed . It must be differentiated, a group('s) who hate, though Muslims, apart from the Islam religion as a whole. Their model is on Oppression just like the nazis. And the bigoted whites against the Blacks. It's not natural for humans to accept being oppressed. Dev Patel (wait staff) who gives an outstanding performance in humanity was initially told to go home, but convinces his boss to let him stay & work; turns out he becomes one the main heroes. Since this is reality, there' no Hollywood heroes to save the day. It's gripping suspense at its best.

Very racist movie and is just stereotypical using Islamic words I wouldn’t recommend unless you want to see extreme violence and unnecessary racist made up details

A very powerful well acted depiction of in-your-face mass slaughter by terrorists based on actual events in Mumbai in 2008. Entertainment is not the correct word for this movie; It's story telling at its best, while bearing witness of what these people went thru from their perspective that was palpable & the courage of the hotel staff & others that made this a chilling suspense-thriller/drama. The merciless non-flinching killing is hard to watch. I wondered how the director got the actors to display such realistic emotions of terror, fear & anxiety thru-out. The acting was so convincing & looked so real because it was real. How did the director pull such strong performances? The ensemble was never told where or when the bombs or machine gun fire was going to occur keeping them in a constant state of anxiety. Brilliant, but not for them. I also understand that when the cast viewed the first screening, some teared up . A statement to the power of this movie. Another great true story is "UNPLANNED" ; the remarkable story of Abby Johnson who did a complete "about face" in regards to the abortion industry.

With all the attention that goes to Captain Marvel and the like, some excellent films come and go without gathering much of the public's attention. Hotel Mumbai with Dev Patel, Armie Hammer, and some other fine actors is one of these. This is a drama about terrorism, and there is "edge of your seat" excitement amid themes of courage, duty, nationalism, and family. Flawless...…guru bob…………………...98/100

Watched this at TIFF. Good acting and excellent directing .This should be categorized as horror genre so beware, it is very intense! Based on a TRUE STORY!

0 stars If you hate innocent people and love terrorism this is for you. This is not how the preview makes it out to be.

I was expecting a good movie but this was full of contradictions to reality. Horrible acting as well.

This is a movie based on a well documented, horrific terrorist attack in Mumbai 2008. The acting is excellent. The horrible events are depicted quite accurately. It is a story to be told, if you dare to watch it.
