The movie packs in all the A listers in Hollywood but the convoluted storyline and witless dialogue from David O Russell is just too much to overcome. About an hour in, we get to a point where the only enjoyable aspect of Amsterdam is guessing what celebrity would pop up next and then debating whose talent was wasted most (my vote goes to Chris Rock). The main draw was the cast, but after watching the whole thing it became clear that's all this movie has going for it. The murder mystery plot is fairly uneventful and in the end the audience doesn't care whodunit as long as the nonsense comes to an end. Amsterdam is somehow fast pace and boring at the same time.
