Extremely Prescient Considering Recent Political Events in America.

Writer-Director David O. Russell, for Some Reason, Decided to Tell the Tale of "The Business Plot", in a Farcical Comedy Format.

That of the Business Cabal, Including "Henry Ford" and Numerous Other Big-Business Tycoons Attempt at Replacing FDR.

Without an Election, with "Smedley Butler", An Honorable and Popular "General", Hoping that the Military Leaders and Soldiers Would Follow.

All the While in Cahoots with "Hitler" and "Mussolini".

When it Failed, Outed by "Gen. Butler" Himself, the Story Faded From the Headlines, and as Usual the Devious "Money-Men" were Never Held Accountable.

The Outrageous Event Even Avoided Coverage in School Textbooks and is Little-Known Today.

This is the Surprising Story that this Movie is About at its Core.

What is even More Surprising is that Russel Chose to Uncover it for Modern Audiences in His Over-The-Top Method.

It's just too Important for such Wimsey.

That Being Said, at Least it's Being Told in a Climate of Disrepair that Currently Exists in America in the 21st Century.

Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, Pull Rabbits From Their Hats and Embark in a Wildly Audacious Dramatic-Comedy Adventure with Shenanigans Galore.

They Seem to be "Winking" at the Camera the Whole Way.

The Story is Told in Flash-Backs Within Flash-Backs, in Glorified Saturated Imagery with Costuming, Makeup, and Set Design Beautifully, if Edgy, Eye-Popping in its Outrageousness.

The Important Event, Vacant from the Public's Consciousness, may Still Elude Those Not Paying Close Attention to the Seriousness of it All.

Even Those Who Are, could Still Be Lost in the Jumble of Russell's Technique and Style.

A Shame Really, because Bale and Robbie, with Fine Tag-Along Support, Give it Their All in a Montage of Whip-Lash Tones and Pacing.

It's a Film that Requires Multiple Viewings to Grasp the "Real" from the "Artistry".

It Overwhelms the Obvious Nature of the Intrigue and Drowns the Good with a Lot of Bad.

Extremely Underrated by those Professional Critics, that Admit Sometimes They had No Idea that this is a Mostly True Event.

Even More Profound in its Reality.

Look it Up and See What You have been Deliberately Denied in an Attempt to Shield the "Huber-Capitalists" from Their Illegal and Selfish Coup-Attempt and Accountability for the Treason.

Sound Familiar.
