Amsterdam (2022) - 3/10

This film brings every major player of today into one giant ensemble and some stars of yesteryear as well. No wonder its trash.

Film meanders through long directionless scene after scene and after wasting your time youll be rewarded with a scene where some kind character will enter and give you exposition that i guess they didnt have time to get to during those scenes where nothing interesting happened.

And the cast.. the principle cast is surprisingly poor. I cant imagine there was any chemistry readings during the casting. Bale, Robbie and Washington have no chemistry amongst one another by any pairing of them you muster. This hurts Robbie and Washington the most. Not only do i not believe they love each other im not certain they know each other.

The movie has nothing interesting to say and nothing interesting to do. Not textually or subtextually. Terrible script and the cast (and casting) cant save it.

I did enjoy Mike Myers and Michael Shannon playing a pair of intelligence agents who in their private time are ornithological enthusiasts.


SPOILER: show
The first film ive ever seen that makes me wish the nazis had won. if they had at least id have spared these 2 hours.
