This movie was another highly anticipated one for me.
It starrs Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Alessandro Nivola (“Spin Me Round”), Anya Taylor-Joy, Taylor Swift, Robert De Niro, Rami Malek, just to name a few.
This movie was directed by David O. Russell (“American Hustle”). This movie is a Comedy/Drama/History.
This movie was released on October 7th 2022.
This movie was rated R for violence, profanity, drug abuse and frightening imagery.
Onto the premise: In the 1930s, three friends witness a murder, are framed for it, and uncover one of the most outrageous plots in American history.
Did you know? This film was inspired by the Business Plot, a 1933 political conspiracy in which wealthy American businessmen and bankers plotted a military coup d’état to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt and replace him with a fascist veterans’ organization headed by U.S.
Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler. Butler revealed the plot in a testimony under oath to the U.S. House of Representatives’ Special Committee on Un-American Activities in 1934. The committee concluded that a plot was indeed concocted, but none of the plotters were prosecuted.
Great movie, Christian Bale still managed to kill his role and lead the whole movie with a good cast of other actors.
Although the movie unfortunately lacks something, it still keeps the audience’s curiosity.
Especially if you are a fan of Christian Bale and Margot Robbie you should definitely not ignore this character and her character, it is extremely funny.
The movie doesn’t please everyone, and some people, but if you need a little detective, humor, entertainment, not putting too much weight on, this is the movie for you.
I am a big fan of David O. Russell as a director. I loved his work on “American Hustle”.
The director has assembled an amazing all star cast for this movie.
The entire cast give excellent performances. The story takes place partly in 1933 where Christian Bale’s character is a doctor asked to perform an autopsy on an old man who has died.
I won’t give away any more of the plot because you should experience it for yourself!!
This movie is beautiful to look at with great cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki who did “The Revenant” and “Birdman”. The production design and costume design are also excellent.
Overall a great moviegoing experience. Very entertaining film. Overall “Amsterdam” is in my opinion the best movie of the year so far.
It was definitely “worth a watch”! I wouldn’t be surprised if it got nominated for an Oscar in 2023!
Stay tuned for more reviews!
