Infinite and Hotel Mumbai

Movies with a body count.

Infinite

Memories are a funny thing, especially if you can retain yours past death as you get reborn into a new body. This is the whole premise of this film which stars Mark Wahlberg as one such "gifted" individual who is self medicating his "crazy" but actually is the key to saving or ending the world. While the action is average, supposedly super knowledgeable characters make stupid decisions regularly which kind of breaks the whole fiction. Not recommended.

Hotel Mumbai

This tense movie depicts the night the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in India was attacked by terrorists, and isn't shy to show the violence enacted upon the people. Good points for realism and good acting too, especially by the bad guys who also get to goof around occasionally. I did find that they had a small "hotel" interior to work with though which meant sometimes it felt that the whole place was just four rooms, two hallways and a lobby but other than that, no significant complaints to be found. Recommended!
