Hotel Mumbai is unsparingly detailed in its depiction of the 2008 events, but skimps on insight into the young perpetrators.

Her body is still warm on the floor of a bathroom as her killer — an arrogant, handsome zealot named Imran played by a wonderful Amandeep Singh — marvels at the technology of a simple flushing toilet. It's one of the few glimpses we get into the humble background of the attackers.

Maras, who co-wrote the script with screenwriter John Collee , received acclaim for his 2011 short film The Palace, about the invasion of Cyprus.Hotel Mumbai fashions the idea of a siege as a disaster movie, recalling classics like The Poseidon Adventure in its set up of vastly different characters flung together in a sudden, life-or-death crisis.

Dev Patel plays a Sikh waiter with a heavily pregnant wife and young child at home who becomes one of the unlikely heroes. Armie Hammer is a wealthy American whose wife is the film's only identifiable non-terrorist Muslim. They arrive with their newborn baby and an Australian nanny . Jason Isaacs is an enigmatic Russian gangster — a more-than-meets-the-eye figure you might find in an Agatha Christie novel — and Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher plays the hotel's Chef, one of the few characters inspired by a real life hero of the siege.
