Amsterdam

Long story short, 20 minutes in the guys in front of me started playing candy crush. 30 minutes later, half the theatre left.

Set in the '30s, it follows three friends who witness a murder, become suspects themselves, and uncover one of the most outrageous plots in American history.

Christian Bale put on an amazing performance, as expected. He also had a lot of chemistry with his co-stars, Margot Robbie and John David Washington. Generally, all the characters were pretty fun and the cast did a good job, but that wasn't enough. Like many other movies that came out recently, this one proves that a stacked cast doesn't always guarantee a good movie. With a very weak script and an expected plot, the movie is definitely a wasted potential. The movie is very good at the beginning and really captivates the audience. However, things go south after that, as the movie gives us a very long flashback that doesn't give much added value to the story. Then, instead of returning to the fast-paced exciting scenes, we get very boring and unnecessarily elongated scenes until the end. (Can't blame the people who left to be honest.)

The movie can't really be defined; it doesn't have the elements to be a comedy, a mystery, a drama nor a whodunnit. The script is very weak, and every single "plot twist" in the movie is expected. However, the ending was fun but unfortunately really expected.

Score:5/10.
