Even though former Marine Gunnery Sgt Ali Gorsky (Ruby Rose) felt guilt not being able to protect an Ambassador and his family in Romania, she takes a job as Doorman at an elite Hotel, The Carrington, which is undergoing renovation. Victor Dubois (Jean Reno) knows that a former German Officer now lives in the Hotel and took rare paintings with him after WW II and Victor and his men want those valuable paintings.
Ali comes to know that her brother-in-law Jon Stanton (Rupert Evans) is now living in the Hotel and he is a college Professor and writer of sorts, and who married Ali's sister now deceased from a car accident. And, of course, he still has eyes for Ali, who wants nothing to do with him.
Victor and his guys learn where the paintings are and yes, they are in Stanton's apartment. Of course, they are. They find the safe and start drilling to open it.
Ali must find a way to protect her family and get rid of Victor and his men. She is given a second chance because it is now her family that is involved. This starts cat and mouse scenarios and these take up the rest of the movie.
Notables: Aksel Hennie plays Boris and he is the other Doorman and Victor's right-hand man; Phillip Whitchurch is Ali's uncle, Pat Gorsky, who is in charge of the renovation and gets Ali the Doorman job; Julian Feder as Max, Ali's nephew (Jon Stanton's son) and Ali uses him to navigate the hotel as he knows the hotel layout; Kila Lord Cassidy as Lily, Ali's niece (Jon Stanton's daughter).
Just so you know: you should never bypass a movie with Jean Reno in it as he is an exceptional actor and it doesn't matter if he plays a good guy or a bad guy like he does in here.
And now for a pretty Ruby Rose, who you might know, or not, that she played Batwoman in the recent Batwoman TV series and then she quits that job and we are all the better for it. She is very good. I just hope those Tats behind her neck and on her left hand are washable, but she can fight. I am sure we will see more of her and yes, keep an eye on her neck and left hand just to be sure. Ha!

Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: Very brief in the beginning. Rating: B
