Timely, riveting, with amazing performances from all the big name stars. But Christian Bale's channeling of Peter Falk as "Colombo" astounded me! See if, if just to appreciate the sheer brilliance of Christian Bale.

Nobody in my theater walked out. There were a few chuckles. I had expected it to be more comedic, but I got immersed in the complexity of the plot...loved the ambiance of the nightclubs and the performers from all those decades ago. Got a few tickles catching the references to who might belong to a cabal to take over the world.... and mentally equated them with current-day multi-billionaires, as I'm certain the movie intends.
