Depicts the 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai and specifically the luxurious Taj Hotel. On a technical level it's well made, and the familiar faces (Dev Patel, Armie Hammer, Jason Isaacs) and charismatic ones I didn't know were a bonus. And the angle of the hotel staff's dedication to their work leading to their willingness to risk their own lives to protect those of their guests was interesting. But despite liking the way their pride in their work and bonds to each other drove that heroism, I found it hard to forget the enormous disparity in wealth and privilege between the guests being protected and the Mumbai residents doing the protecting. With pre-screening discussion with director and co-writer.
