Movie #494 "Million Dollar Hotel" a cult classic, huh? I guess it has the look of a Donnie Darko, and I liked it about as much as that film. There are some parts that are eerily quirky and pull you in, like Jeremy Davies' performance, and some of the other characters that fill the lobby of this hotel ------ the story starts off really well, but then it gets muddled ---- and Davies starts mumbling, and the young girl needs to do more to get her character more clearly across, and the film needs to follow Mel Gibson less! I did like the opening and the ending and some of the bits, but not enough to recommend this.
Rated 3 stars out of 5
