"An LA flophouse inhabited by an extended family of the walking wounded and more than a few scheming schemers. A mysterious death. Add earnest, and psychotic, FBI Agent Skinner (Mel Gibson) who's at least as strange as any of the hotel's inhabitants. What's not to like? Million Dollar Hotel is fairly enticing at the front end if for nothing more than the opening scene and Jeremy Davies character, Tom Tom, a damaged but sweet-innocent narrator who guides us through a byzantine plot stitched together from a series of vignettes, flashbacks and reactions to Skinner's investigatory shenanigans. As the story progresses, the plot gets muddy but the freaks are intersting enough to keep you engaged. I may be the only person on this planet who wanted to watch it a second time, but I did and I liked it even more. See this film for it's great soundtrack, some interesting plot gimmicks (Bono wrote the story with Nicholas Klein) and it's crew of flakey grifters surviving ... "

"this has to be one of the most boring movies i've ever seen. you think, hey, mel gibson's in this one! but he's barely in it as much as you'd expect. jovovich and davies are bland, acting almost retarded (artsy? whatever). jimmy smits is in this movie. jimmy smits. don't watch this waste of time, the music will put you to sleep, and so will the acting. i finished this movie and was glad that it was just a dollar rental and not a blind buy.also, i think bono was one of the producers. ya got me.

"I totally understand why no one really likes this movie. The plot is murky, told in flashback from a mentally disabled person. The satirical jabs at the art community and the nature of celebrity seem tacked-on, and the core mystery of the film is pretty easy to figure out.But then you have to consider the dream-like mood of the entire piece, the performances of the actors who go above and beyond, trying to sell the preposterous story (seriously, this is one of Mel Gibson's better performances), and the interesting mish-mash of people who wander in front of the camera (Bud Court, Amanda Plummer, Donal Logue just to name a few). There are fragments of a million good movies in here, mixed up togther into a mosaic that almost, but not quite, achieves greatness. "
