The story of Amsterdam is straightforward & goes about telling itself in a non-convoluted way. The plot logically progresses until the very end which was neither a bad or good or surprise ending.

The directing is seamless & is accompanied by everything beautiful: actors, costumes, locations, lighting.

My favourite part is when the friendship of Burt, Valerie and Harold starts to coalesce and the adventure begins.

David O. Russell took on the hard job of writing something semi-original and in my opinion, pulls off a good tale.

This film deserves an eager audience.

I don't have any negative criticism.
