Not having watched Hotel, I haven't seen him play "sleazy" yet. Something to look forward to . . . I think.

Jason mentioned that he gets beaten up by the terrorists in the movie (I think he talked about it during the press conference). I'm not sure this Russian survives the movie.

This review was quite informative:

Jason Isaacs plays an over-the-top Russian sleazeball who transitions from coked up businessman to grounded hero once the attacks begin.
Three stars.

Thanks, thunder.
Not looking forward to seeing the carnage. But. I do want to see the heroism on the part of the employees. So. I'll only have my eyes closed through half the movie.

I watched the Norwegian movie about the terror attacks in 2011. It's filmed in "real time", only showing the perspective of the victims on Utøya. It's a good movie, but horrible to watch. I can imagine this being somewhat the same.

Jason always makes a movie better doesn’t he!
