    This movie does exactly what it sets out to do: making the audience absolutely hate terrorists. It's also a gut-wrenchingly tension-filled depiction of true events. I was on the edge of my seat with knots in my stomach the entire time.

    Went into this movie completely blind, I didn't even know that this tragedy in 2008 even occurred. Super tense all throughout the movie. Dev Patel was amazing as per usual.

    I loved this. Is it violent? Yes, but so is the topic. I'm sure some will claim it is ''too violent'', but I say they're wrong; it's simply accurate. Dev Patel is wonderful. The movie is very engaging, and pulls you in. Only thing I don't like is the way the terrorists are portrayed as somewhat innocent, in the sense that they are portrayed in this hicks-who-don't-know-any-better way, and that is utterly ridiculous. Nobody is so stupid that they can't figure out that it's wrong to walk into a hotel and machine-gun down everyone for absolutely no reason.

    It is a movie based on the true events of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. One thing I appreciate is that this movie does not shy away from how horrific the attack was. The violence is brutal and honestly difficult to watch. The film is incredibly suspenseful, tense and gripping to watch. There is terrific acting from Dev Patel who plays a staff and Anupam Kher who plays real-life head chef Hemant Oberoi. Where the movie falters is when it focuses on the couple. Their characters make so many infuriating choices and was genuinely frustrating to watch. I wish the whole film had just focused on the Hotel staff trying to protect the guests. Despite that, this is an incredibly well-made movie and a harrowing depiction of the tragic event that is worth watching

    A tense thriller that kept me on edge for the entire movie. Especially good acting by Dev Patel as a waiter and Anupam Kher as Head Chef.

    it's one of the harder films to watch but packed with enough thrills and heart-wrenching emotions based on the true events of the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India the film depicts the bombings and the siege of the Taj Hotel not only were 50 guests trapped but several staff members as well, most of whom stayed behind to keep each other safe the film wastes no time showing the terrorists fully committing to their plan of attack to honor what they've felt they lost they believe in sending their own message for the world to hear aside from Dev Petel as an employee, Armie Hammer as a father and a newlywed to Jason Issacs as a Russian elite most of the other players are unknown but they amazingly play the real-life victims desperate to escape as well as work together director Anthony Maras shows a real-life traumatic experience of ordinary individuals pulling together in desperate times in the most unexpected of dyer circumstances

    Mumbai Hotel is a pretty interesting movie. A good plot mixed with shooting and tragedy gives you what you came for, a lot of emotions. The characters delve into the soul and you worry about them until the very end
