The Million Dollar Hotel Storyline

The Million Dollar Hotel follows the supposed murder of Izzy Goldkiss. FBI Agent Skinner is sent into investigate the crime, and to weed out the killer. When he reaches the ‘hotel’, he comes across many of the forgotten types of people living in the city. You have Geronimo, who is a self proclaimed Native American artist. Dixie, played with great gusto by Peter Stormare, as the ‘fifth’ Beatle still waiting for his royalty payments as well as recognition. Eloise, who is the neighborhood ‘whore’. And then there is Tom-Tom, played by Jeremy Davies. He’s the center of the story, being that he’s the ‘village idiot’ of the bunch, and has the trust of everyone in the Hotel. Agent Skinner has a few days to find out who the killer is, while the residents of the hotel devise a scheme to sell off Izzy’s fabled ‘Tar Paintings’.

The Million Dollar Hotel Movie Reviews

If seen without any expectation, it might be a nice surprise!

I avoided this film, because of the bad criticism it got in the newspapers. But then I decided to see it at a low price cinema. And I thought, it wasn’t all that bad as the critics said. I admit that one has to be in the right mood for this film, and I might alter my judgment, if I saw it a second time. But this time, I enjoyed the way it showed me how colorful life can be, even if it is a difficult and not generally admired one. Each well played character has a different story to tell, and one has to think a little about them. In the end, I took a lot of positive thoughts home. But you have to let yourself go, otherwise you will be disappointed.

hard to tell whether or not it has Wim Wenders written all over it

Maybe I’ve been too cruel to Wim Wenders ever since I saw “Until the End of the World” (which is a movie that I wholeheartedly recommend); ever since that movie, I expect top-notch work from him. Which isn’t to say that “The Million Dollar Hotel” is a bad movie. The lack of health insurance is certainly an important topic to look at. It’s just that the movie’s a little too far out to follow clearly. Whodunits always seem to be an inconsistent genre, and this one comes across as more confusing than anything. Maybe Wim Wenders and Mel Gibson just aren’t the right people to work together.

Anyway, it’s worth seeing, but don’t make it your first choice. Also starring Jeremy Davies, Milla Jovovich, Jimmy Smits, Peter Stormare, Bud Cort, Amanda Plummer, Gloria Stuart, Donal Logue and Harris Yulin.

too weird

A nearly crippled FBI agent, played by none other than Mel Gibson, arrives at a flop house for uninsured alcoholics, drug users and the mentally challenged to investigate the murder (or was it suicide) of a rich man’s son. He meets, among others, an Indian named Geronimo, a man who claims to have been an uncredited member of The Beatles, an alcoholic whose toupee is on askew, a strange young woman and the even stranger young man who loves her.

This film has some great things in it but overall, was too long, slow and bizarre for my taste. Part of the problem for me was that some of the dialogue was totally unintelligible. There were some good acting, lines, situations and moments but ultimately it was too left of strange for me – kind of like a Twin Peaks episode that veered off the charts.
