Amsterdam was a lengthy Dramedy about a 3 best friends, two of whom are lovers. They meet during the war and end up in a global conspiracy.

This movie is subtle and nuanced. I found myself laughing for most of the movie but the jokes mostly aren't gags or physical bits, they are Tarantino-esque style dialog and if you don't have an understanding of the historical significance of WW1, then some of the jokes may go over your head. I must say Rami Malek was my absolute favorite! He embodied an uber-rich early 20th century d-bag perfectly! And I will be watching for his other works from now on. If you're a fan of TV shows with laugh tracks, then you will probably not like this movie, as it doesn't tell you when to laugh. This movie is very high brow and has a certain intelligence about it. Amsterdam certainly wont hold your hand while you watch. This movie is an exercise of dialog, set/costume design, historical knowledge and a special brand of humor that I don't think I've precisely encountered before. Someone hysterically gets ran over by a car within the first 10 minutes. It seemed to setup the tone for the rest of the feature and I will say if you don't find yourself laughing at that(theres a great twist involved) then its probably better to just skip the rest of the movie. Amsterdam is a refined 5 course Michelin star meal in a cineplex food court surrounded by fast food films 9/10.
