Equipped with a very talented large ensemble cast, "Amsterdam" has huge "Pulp Fiction" vibes potential but sadly falls flat on its face. No big names like Christian Bale, Robert De Niro or even Taylor Swift could save it. The problem is the excessive tongue-in-cheek dialogue lacking humor and nuggets of wisdom that stay with you. It tries to be witty but just doesn't land well. It feels overly ambitious yet disorganized, and I'm actually lost and disinterested by the time the Robert De Niro character is introduced. Here is a prime example of a fascinating string of actors that become lackluster because they are given a lackluster script. The movie's box office performance echoes this sentiment, as I read that it only grossed $31 million worldwide against a budget of $80 million. The definition of a flop.
