OPINION: For a few days, terrorism thriller Hotel Mumbai was on screens in New Zealand. For others, the release timing has no bearing on whether they want to endure Hotel Mumbai or not. Chronicling the deadly 2008 terrorist attack on the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, Hotel Mumbai comes from co-writer and director Anthony Maras, making his feature debut. Hotel Mumbai jacks up audiences on dread and suspense, and its bald-faced tactics (will the rich white American save his child?) For the record, the screenwriters told thewrap.com, Hotel Mumbai was pulled temporarily because of lousy timing and "a loaded issue".
