Essentially, it's Tarantino-esque neo-noir, meets a heist movie, meets a bit of Cabin in the Woods (it's the same director, after all), meets Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* meets that bit on BOTS where Rylan gets Kate Lawler to snoop around the camera runs and tell us what Zoe's been eating for breakfast (you'll see what I mean). In terms of the characterisation it does feel very "he/she's a [blank]... with a secret!", especially with the use of the state border running through the hotel and what that could mean in terms of how shady these people's intentions may be, but I think that the whole late '60s aesthetic, use of music, use of one setting, etc bring it to life and considering all the things it's trying to be at once, I think it works rather well
*I'm assuming, given that it's not out for another year
