Amsterdam (2022) Movie Thread

[Heather]

What a disappointment. The Silver Linings Playbook is one of my favorite films and I thought Joy was very good too but this is a mess, unfortunately.

It starts off well but I lost interest after a while and almost nodded off. John David Washington is very good as is Margot Robbie, I swear she gets more beautiful as time goes by. But it's Christian Bale who walks off with the acting honors, he is superb and very committed, it's like he's acting in a completely different and better movie than everyone else.

I'm not sure what the problem is really, a lot of the scenes fall very flat and it becomes unnecessarily convoluted. The cinematography is absolutely sublime though and the score is also pretty decent, but alas the rest of the film is just poor.
