David O. Russell’s Amsterdam feels like another swing at emulating the Wes Anderson model: complicated and fast-moving plot, star-studded cast, ample amounts of whimsy, sneakily heavy subject matter. Based on the Business Plot, a 1933 political conspiracy to overthrow Franklin Delano Roosevelt and install fascist Smedly Butler as dictator, Amsterdam follows friends Burt Berendsen (Christian Bale), Valerie Voze (Margot Robbie), and Harold Woodman (John David Washington) after they witness the murder of a retired U.S. general. Quickly targeted as suspects themselves, the three friends soon find themselves caught up in uncovering the outrageous plot. It was a box office and critical bomb, but David O. Russell is usually an Oscar shoo-in, so it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth your time!
