A classic noir from Graham Greene but not his best
While I wouldn't say this was the best of Graham Greene, who is renowned for his noir style crime tales, it was an enjoyable read.

There are plenty of twists and turns in this spy novel about a simple vacuum merchant turned spy for the British government in Cuba. His friend, a German doctor is suspected of being more than he is. There are plenty of assassination plots in this novel on top of escaping dangerous situations involving corrupt cops.

My only gripe is the fact how quickly the salesman was able to grasp being a detective without any training, so it seems a little implausible. Fun, but no Brighton Rock.

Poor executed
The twist was telegraphed from only opening.
Mediocre Film Noir almost saved by a bizzare yet intriguing left turn twist half way through.
With more effort could have been a classic. Instead it squandered a fantastic cast and an intriguing twist with poor script and mediocre direction.

Not liking that one character speaks to the dead. (0 more)
I loved the noir feeling of this show. I want to know about the other 36 kids. I liked how it ended. It can continue or not. Either way works. I love how the dynamic of the characters worked. Sound track... Phenomenal. Good humor.All in all good.

"The Hateful Motel 6"
“Bad Times At The El Royale” sees “Cabin In The Woods” writer/ director Drew Goddard indulging his inner Tarantino as he sets up this lurid, pulpy neo-noir tale of deceit, desperation and death in a faded motel, still trading on its glamorous past and novelty location....

Great characters
Hooked from the beginning
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Although set in a future, one can see the headline issues of today wrapped up in a complicated film-noir private detective archetype. Something about hard-boiled crime and mystery supported by futuristic tech and commentary on the social elite really pulls me in.
