Review of Vice (2018) by Randy W — 28 Dec 2018

While this movie isn't perfect, it certainly achieves the main goal: to entertain. Its wicked humor coupled with some clever visual gags really hits the mark with me. The story jumps around from different points in time, but it all makes sense to the narrative and keeps the theme in good order.

I loved the camera work (especially the times Bale is filmed at an angle that makes him look menacing) and the editing is stellar. The biggest problem people may have with this film is that the tone shifts drastically a few times.

I didn't find it distracting, but rather stirring. Despite its flaws, this movie is masterfully made and is very creative, and I appreciate the chances it takes. I enjoyed it entirely.
