Thoughts;
What is with all these movies looking really good, then not being? This movie was boring and there are so many unanswered questions.
So many things were just off with this. The movie also just almost ends.

Plot Summary; CAUTION; Major Spoiler Alert
On
June 21, 2028, a riot breaks out in Los Angeles over the
affordability and availability of water after it is privatized.
Taking advantage of the distraction, a four-man crew of brothers
Sherman and Lev and miscreants Buke and P-22 rob a bank. Unable to
break into the vault, they steal from hostages at the bank, realizing
that they were mainly staff of the wealthy sent to deposit valuables
into the vault. Lev takes a male hostage's fancy pen despite being
warned by the man not to. During their escape, an encounter with the
police leaves P-22 dead and Buke and Lev critically wounded. They
make their way to the nearby Hotel Artemis, a hotel/hospital that
only treats criminals, run by Jean "the Nurse" Thomas. The
Hotel only treats members who are paid-up in advance, so Sherman and
Lev are allowed in while Buke as a non-member is kicked out by
Everest, the Nurse's assistant. At the Hotel are two other guests.
Code names for all guests are assigned based on the suite they are
occupying. Sherman is code-named Waikiki, and Lev is code-named
Honolulu. The other guests are code-named Acapulco, and Nice. The
Nurse gets word from criminal Crosby Franklin that his father Orian
"The Wolf King" Franklin, is en route and in need of
immediate medical attention. Meanwhile, Waikiki catches up with Nice,
who has moved on to work internationally while Waikiki has remained
Stateside. When he reveals the pen his brother stole during the
robbery, Nice explains that the pen is a mobile safe, and unlocks it
to show it contains precious diamonds, saying they belong to the Wolf
King, and reminding Waikiki that the Wolf King kills anybody who
steals from him. To make matters worse, a wounded police officer
named Morgan arrives outside begging for medical attention from
Thomas..
