Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChristian Bale stopped talking to Chris Rock on set. He claimed that he was very funny, which made it hard for him to act.
- GoofsMike Myers' character is captioned as being MI6. Although the British Secret Service Bureau was created in 1909, it was not known as MI6 until World War II.
- Quotes
Burt Berendsen: Each one of us is given a tapestry, our own opera. This person and this person. Thinking about it... love is not enough. You got to fight to protect kindness. You get attached to people and things. And they might just break your heart... but that's being alive.
- Crazy creditsBefore ending credits, video of US Marine Corps Major Gen. Smedley Butler, the man on whom the film based the character of Gen. Dillenbeck, is shown side by side with video of Butler's speech.

Featured review
as timely now as it was in the 30's
When was the last time you sat in a movie theater that was so engaged in the film no one disturbed you by looking at their phone or having an unrelated conversation? The audience was onboard with the sneak preview we saw tonight of Amsterdam from beginning to end and applauded when the film ended.
Beautifully shot as others have mentioned and interesting casting. Though he's always amazing I don't think I've ever seen Christian Bale have so much fun with a part and he, a luminous Margot Robbie, and the always wonderful John David Washington play beautifully off each other. Many great characters in supporting roles, just a wealth of talent and casting.
No spoilers but this story set in the 1930's has clear parallels for the world today.
I disagree that the story was difficult to follow, a clear narrative that does move through a few time periods but always makes those jumps clear.
Don't miss this one!
