Amsterdam stars a cast filled with recognizable names, with a main 3 of Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and John David Washington. The movie struggles to find most of what it's good at in its first half, the movie has a persisting battle of seriousness and comedy through most of the 2+ hour run length. Some of the humor does land, but the movie succeeds better at being a more serious drama with elements of comedy sprinkled into it over a comedy with small segments of a competent story. The pacing of the actual film is sometimes messy and the tone of the movie also shifts frequently. That being said the actual acting for the most part was good and the characters had depth to them. The cinematography of the movie is beautiful and there isn't a dull moment visually through the entire movie. Amsterdam seems to get the whole film straight in the last half and makes the movie worth your time. It's an enjoyable cinematic adventure that's worth your time.
