Hotel Artemis is another movie with cult potential in every fibre of its being. This ensemble thriller boasted one of the low-key best casts of 2018, including Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Charlie Day and Dave Bautista.

It's also a smart, surprisingly funny homage to John Carpenter, establishing a gritty, dystopian vibe before letting loose with the requisite blistering action.

Despite critics proving firmly mixed and audiences dismissing it with a naff "C-" CinemaScore, Hotel Artemis gave Jodie Foster her most compelling role in years, leading a roster of similarly weird and wonderful characters (most notably Bautista's deeply amusing orderly).

It's fair to say that first-time director Drew Pearce probably could've done more with the setting of a hospital run exclusively for criminals, but even so, this 94-minute romp is a tight, imaginative blast that had sure franchise potential...until it bombed at the box office.
