I must admit: this skilled, historical action film was one of the toughest, most disquieting sits I can remember in a while—tougher than Paul Greengrass' 'July 22' and on par with the same filmmaker's masterful 'United 93.'

Hotel Mumbai is a shockingly violent action thriller—Die Hard on steroids—except the events it depicts are real.

THE 2008 Mumbai terror attacks resulted in 174 deaths and more than 300 wounded, which might leave you rather queasy about finding its skilful adaptation here — into a nail-biting action thriller — quite so enjoyable.
