I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2023 MOVIE CHALLENGE
WEEK 30: A MYSTERY MOVIE
Description: In the 1930s,
three friends (Christian Bale, John David Washington, Margot Robbie) witness a
murder, are framed for it, and uncover one of the most outrageous plots in
American history.
Review: Burt Berendsen is an American doctor and a war veteran. He practices specifically
for fellow veterans. Many of these patients need experimental surgery and pain
relief, and the last he tests himself. He and his friend Harold Woodman, an
African-American lawyer and fellow veteran, stumble upon a sinister plot
surrounding the death of a former general. They will try and solve this
mystery, together with their other friend, nurse Valerie.
This film is star-studded,
it has the best of the best. Besides the three mains stars, Christian Bale, John
David Washington and Margot Robbie, there is Rami Malek, Anya Taylor-Joy,
Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Chris Rock and Robert De Niro, among many others. It’s
an entertaining back and forth between all these movie stars. The trio of
Robbie, Bale and Washington is a delight to watch. They are an odd trio, a
group you wouldn’t pair, but work perfectly together.
The story flies all over the
place, and I’m still a bit in confused to why the movie title is “Amsterdam”,
but this was a fun and highly enjoyable comedic mystery. I believe it deserves way
more praise then it’s getting.
Rating: 3,5/ 5
