Review of Vice (2018) by Jluis_001 — 07 Jan 2019
This film didn't end up being what I expected or what I wanted. It is a film well done but nothing memorable, except the fabulous performance of Christian Bale.
Adam McKay wasn't able to replicate what he achieved in The Big Short but it seems that his career is now focused on other types of stories and not comedies, which is good.
But if there was something that this film made me think a lot, was the monologue of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. A general who extols the importance of the military and people like him and the things they do in the name of national security.
Something very similar to the final monologue of this film. Which would undoubtedly be more difficult to judge if it were only in the name of national security, but if something has often been put in evidence about the White House is that monetary interests always go before anything.
And the mid-credits scene? Words are unnecessary.
Watch it if you have the opportunity, it's not a bad film. You will not be wasting your time but definitely in the end, I admit it, it will be very forgettable.
