The plot of Amsterdam feels kind of uneven and weirdly told. But what carries this movie for me, is the characters and the world of Amsterdam. It's based on many historical moments & characters, but the movie makes it feel like it's own colourful and intriguing world.

The characters are all fun and the main trio are nicely fleshed out. The cinematography is great and there are some really beautiful shots here & there, and some good camera work. The soundtrack is fun and fits this somewhat lighthearted mystery drama. The performances are memorable and the cherry on top. The casting feels a bit unequal with certain actors not feeling as if they fit the characters, but it's mostly fine for the most part.

Overall, Amsterdam will not appeal to everyone's liking, but I thoroughly enjoyed most of what it has to offer.
