Review of Vice (2018) by The3Academysins — 06 Jan 2019
Adam McKay presents a powerful, vitriolic, absurd, at times surreal, at times Shakespearean, and ultimately honest look at Vice President Dick Cheney. The script has a unique and powerful voice that sometimes lacks in consistency, but never lets up on the humor or somber insight in the life of a truly heartless man.
Christian Bale gives some of the best acting in his career, and he really vanishes into the role of Dick Cheney. Amy Adams plays his Lady Macbeth-esque wife, and she gives a potent supporting performance.
The rest of the ensemble cast shine brightly in their roles, particularly Sam Rockwell and Steve Carrell. Fans of political thrillers and satire will find a lot to enjoy here. If political movies were hamburgers, Vice is a steak.
