Synopsis: The Nurse (Foster) takes medical care of special patients in a Los Angeles corrupted by riots. When two robbers arrive wounded they got the rooms Waikiki (Brown) and Honolulu (Henry). They meet other patients Nice (Boutella) and Acapulco (Day). There are strict rules to ensure anonymity and trust. Everest (Bautista) deal with the security and the multiple building repairs.
Review: The movie may become a good video game as it has a closed space, specific characters with very specific outfit and skills, and bad big bosses. There is no much more content in this action movie apart from some sharp dialogues such as "This is America. Eighty-five percent of what I fix is bullet holes".  The action scenes are well done, most of them rather suggest the violence than show it. One of them in a corridor could have become a female-driven Old Boy remake but was kept with much less lyrism. I liked seeing again Jeff Goldblum. He manages to make his secondary role very important to the movie.
Rating: 4 /10
