Review of Vice (2018) by Richardrad — 21 Jan 2019
Despite a fantastic performance by Christian Bale, "Vice" is a mess. At times the film is funny, but overall "Vice" is a smug, dull, one-sided lecture, suitable only for people who already loathe Dick Cheney.
If you came to this film asking how and why George W. Bush's Vice President was able to amass so much power, there are virtually no insights other than cartoonish depictions of the man, and his collaborators.
Great movies about politics start conversations and provide fresh insights. This film, which is full of noise and cheap shots, does neither.
