Zoe Margolis of CineVue said, "Artemis is a bold, loud, ambitious film, far cleverer than the bog-standard summer blockbuster fare, and with sharp humour and driving suspense it makes this pulpy-sci fi thriller a very fun watch.

"[35] Marjorie Baumgarten of The Austin Chronicle praised the film stating, "With all the activity deriving from its basic concept of a members-only hospital for criminals, Hotel Artemis feels like a throwback to an earlier, more stripped-down era of action movies in which a good idea was a sufficient platform on which to drape fine acting and creative execution.

The film also starred Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Eiza González, and Helen Mirren, with cameos by Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart.

On 26 June 2019, Variety announced that Netflix acquired Pearce's next film, Quartermaster, which Point of No Return will produce alongside Adam Siegel of Marc Platt Productions.
