Hotel Mumbai

This movie is not for the faint hearted. It is a horrific true story of terrorism. Well acted, well done.

Excellent movie from start to finish. The acting was great from all the cast. The movie was very gripping from start to end. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good action movie.

The movie trailer is deceiving. My boys and I were disappointed and left before the movie ended.

Well-documented, accurate portrayal of events that took place. Excellent acting by all. It was not easy to watch this movie and see numerous innocent people shot and killed for no good reason at all. This is certainly no fiction. The dedication and bravery of the hotel staff in risking their own lives in protection of guests is highly commendable and factual. There is no need to blame religion for atrocities of this type; the perpetrators have no humanity and no real affiliation to any legitimate "cause". They assume a sense of unlimited power when such horrendous, cruel acts are committed under their command. Arabic is not the language the shooters used in communications with their handler, just a local dialect.

I have Muslim friends. I also met Muslims in countries where they are the minority and in other countries where Muslims are the majority yet, I’ve seen nothing from them except kindness, hospitality and love for life for themselves, their families and others. Reading some reviews like that of this person describing Islam as a death cult, I wonder if he/she has interacted with a Muslim or even read the Quran before. I have read the Quran myself and by your description I can tell your knowledge about Islam is distorted. That is the danger a movie like this presents. People with limited understanding of the real world learning about others through movies or TV.

Only reason this movie isn't rated at 5 stars is that some people refuse to accept the truth. Islam is a death cult- not a "religion of peace". I'm sorry if it's hard for you to watch 10 Muslims slaughter over 400 Hindus and Christians but it's a factual account of what happened. Take YOUR agenda elsewhere.

Well directed, well acted - certainly made it very real. Still can't fathom why terrorists kill innocents.

Two hours passed quickly as this gripping re-telling of the terrorist attack on Mumbai unfolded on the screen. The story is not fiction; rather, it is a portrayal of the religion-driven and senseless slaughter of scores of innocent civilians in Mumbai in 2008. Yes, it is violent, but so is terrorism. This is truly one of the best films of the past year with superb performances by such leads as Dev Patel, portraying a server in the Taj Palace Hotel's dining room who, like other hotel staff, made protection of hotel guests his first priority while risking his own life. Of course, all but one of the characters are composites of the many staff and guests who had the misfortune to be at the hotel at the time of the attack. The exception is the character of the head chef of the hotel's famous dining room. We should all show such courage and grace in the midst of such adversity. Despite the reviews to the contrary, this is not a racist film, any more than was "Schindler's List" or "The Colour Purple," both of which captured the racism perpetrated in the first film upon the Jewish people and in the second upon African Americans in the southern States. This is not fiction; this simply depicts an historical truth, and is well worth seeing at least once if not twice. Of how many movies can one say the same?

while liberals cry about this and that and life isn't 'fair', this is a story about the WAY THE WORLD REALLY IS. you don't want to watch the way the world really is? there's always sesame street and barney the dinosaur for you. grow up already.

this is not entertainment. I come to a movie to be entertained. a message in a movie can add to the experience, but walking out an hour into the movie I still found no value to it at all. if this topic interests you, I would encourage you to seek it elsewhere.

no entertainment or story value in this movie. go only if you want to see defensles inosint people shot.

The Movie had me at the edge of my seat the whole time especially knowing it's based on real life events , real people who lived through this horror. I don't think the movie is intended to offend any group of people or make any religion look bad. It's a Movie based on Facts unfortunately . Humans can cause unnecessary chaos ,pain and suffering to one another .

I am a non-muslim mother, If you’re a movie-goer, a reader, a story-lover, a human-remember "Being a good person does not depend on your religion, status, race, color, political views or culture. It depends on how you treat others" I didn't like the movie for one reason it's obvious that the killers speak the Arabic language and if I don't know Muslims or Arabs, I would be scared to meeting one of them, but I have this Muslim best friend, who is really nice. Again, racism is still with us, but it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome. As amother I DON'T want my kids to watch it.

Excellent, fact based movie of 10 Muslim, Islamic terrorists who murdered almost 400 people on behalf of hatred of Pakistinian terrorists against non Muslims

Simply put, we paid money to watch someone’s political agenda.

Raw, gripping, suspenseful, heart-wrenching and so well done! An excellent movie.

The 1 star idiots are at it again. Go to school, get an education & try to write more than 5 words. That's not a review. And you self-proclaimed Muslims, knock it off. This docu-drama depicted a true event . Just so happens they were Muslims that did the killing because of their radical ideology. Had nothing to do with portraying Islam or Muslims as bad. (Notice I used capitols for your religion) Your upset because they're using YOUR religion as the scapegoat of their evil deeds & you don't like it. Get over it! When Movies or documentaries are made of the nazis (they were German), Germans don't get all in a huff. As a history buff, I've done a lot of research on WWii & there were a lot of bad nazis - (again they were German), but I don't view all Germans as bad. Do you understand this !? Give people more credit to recognize the good from the bad. I repeat - get over it. The nazis were a sect just like the radical Muslims are a sect. In case you don't know what that means ; a group apart from a larger group. So get off your high horse & stop proclaiming the movie is something other than what it is. It's not racist, propaganda, biased or has an agenda against Muslims - It's an excellent movie that draws you in to the actual terror that the people experienced. And YOU, the 3 word 1 star idiot ; why don't you get a life. People recognize arrogance, so they don't pay attention to you. Have a nice day & enjoy the movie. (as upsetting as it is.)

I am not a Muslim and I believe that the people behind this movie has a dirty agenda IT IS A RACIST MOVIE

"Hotel Mumbai" portrays what was an Islamic terrorist attack in the city of Mumbai in 2009. In all, 174 - not included the terrorists - were killed, a number of them in the hotel itself as well as a nearby restaurant [;is two other targets. There were ten who came from neighboring Pakistan and who had trained and prepared for the mission, the president of Pakistan eventually acknowledging the terrorists' nationality. The movie is not racist; it is simply depicting an historical event which cannot be ignored. Nine of the terrorists were killed in the attack; the tenth was eventually returned to Pakistan and ultimately released from prison. The movie is violent, yes, but so was the attack itself which in the hotel lasted for four days. One may not care for the subject matter, but one cannot deny the reality of the attack which resulted in the deaths of many innocent tourists and civilians. It does not hurt to be reminded of the world's history, as painful as it may be.

Trolls on here saying this movie is racist. Not so. Watch the world friends. We can all get along! This is not an over exaggeration and these troll snowflakes pretending to be affended by it should take a good look at themselves.

Loved it. Shows the reality of MUSLIM extremist and how they are destroying the world.

its a stupid movie. not even true.

This movie is made with bad intention against the 1.6 billion muslems in the world. Its sad that amarican Muslim kids have to deal with the bulleying and teasing at school because of that.

What a waste

Failed my lowest expectation

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

awesome flick !

A very dramatic portrayal of the real terror attack in 2008, keeping the audience in suspense throughout the movie. Just too sad that so many innocent people got murdered. And unfortunately these terror acts still happen around the world today !

Biased political garbage......

The movie is.excellent! It leaves you on the edge of your seat, and in fear if what is happening in our world. This movie will make you examine and question what you value. We spend our lives judging, this movie will make you wonder "who am I and how do I fit into the narrative of what is happening in the world. I left the theatre speechless, and humbled. Equal rights and justice are like a synonym. It means the same but spelled differently. What do they want, and what aren't our leaders telling us? Enjoy the Movie? Guess what? It happened for real.
