Saw this on Prime. Wish I'd never listened to critics reviews and gone to see it in cinema. It's a really unique, brilliantly made film, with loads of exceptional performances. Christian Bale is on top form playing a really decent and lovable man. All the supporting players are also great, and, there's so many incredible actors! It's so rare to see an ensemble of this calibre in a film. The plot / setup is intriguing and the oddball bunch of friends who get unwillingly pulled into danger makes for a compelling watch. You don't want them to get hurt, but after what an assassin does to Taylor Swift early on, the sense of threat is always there. Tonally the film reminded me of Grand Budapest Hotel. That film had a better killer in the form of William Dafoe. In Amsterdam, the killer could have featured a bit more and their story brought to a better conclusion. I'd guess with the amount of characters and story there probably wasn't time for that. It's a minor quibble really. Amsterdam has a really beautiful scene between Bale and Zoe Saldina. I wish she featured a bit more in the film as you really wanted him to find some happiness with her. Yes this is sort of given in the end but it felt a bit tokenistic. The main love affair between Robbie and the excellent John David Washington is done with excellence. They both look beautiful and you root for them. The third act gets a bit crushed as the complex plot tries to land. Lots of characters converge and it's not easy to discern one villain from another. However, the film rides along with enough sublime wit and humour, lots of laugh out loud moments, that any criticism fades away. It also looks stunning. The recreation of the period details is sublime to look at. Thanks for making it, really terrific achievement.
