6.5/10 I found Amsterdam as a movie that fills with great ensemble cast and great performance with quite a fatal pacing and story problem, mostly on the pacing, the story of Amsterdam though it's credited the most as a thriller crime detective movie, for me it's more of like a romance friendship movie with thriller crime detective thing as just a side story, i'm fine if it's work, but unfortunately David O. Russell didn't really nailed it in this one, i found the relationship between Margot Robbie and John David Washington character are unnecessary but i'm still fine with it, lot's of moment where i feel the movie is pushing back too many times, like just skip to the main parts already we have this type of drama enough, and the pacing is for me i found it mostly exhausting, and for 2 hours and 14 minutes movie trust me you will really feel it if you watch it, in the more positive side like i mention in the beginning, the cast is fantastic, and the good news is all of that fantastic cast i feel like it did not wasted, even Taylor Swift who only have a brief appearance in the film is pleasant, all the cast did great and if i have to give my personal pick for best performance in the film, i'm giving it to legend himself Robert De Niro, he was surprisingly have lot more than i though it's gonna be and he's killing it, i was still mostly enjoyed the movie, there is still quite a lot moment that i like, enjoy, and even some of them make me laugh, and at last love the costume and make up design, so overall Amsterdam is indeed mostly a mixed-bag, if it have less drama, shorter and more focusing on the thriller it could have been way better, fortunately the ensemble cast and all the performance that they give didn't make this movie a complete disaster.
