_Hotel Mumbai_. Hard as I try. Can't figure out why ...You got made? _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

A harrowing film about the incredibly sad true story. Considering there was already a documentary though, maybe we didn't need to live through this again? But maybe this brought knowledge to more people? We'll probably never know, because the world is complex, and so you can form your own opinions.

I found this to be quite a compelling watch. Dev Patel and Anupam Kher offer perfectly plausible portrayals of innocent local folks caught up in this most hideous and random of terrorist attacks upon their Taj Hotel workplace in Mumbai - and yet still determine to risk their lives to help a collection of spoilt, rich, over-indulged Westerners survive the would-be slaughter. Much of the script apparently derives from transcripts of real mobile phone conversations adding a unique slice of authenticity and Maras' direction offers a taut and well crafted framework for the story to enfold in the capable - and quite adaptable - hands of Patel. Well worth watching.
