VICE (2018 where Christian Bale is Dick... Dick Cheney)

I don't usually have particularly strong adverse reactions to films but fuck this hacky, lazy piece of shit film.

Around halfway through, when the Macbeth scene kicked in and we got the credits rolling, I started to think that the hackiness was maybe part of the point, and then as the film continued I realised that was just to deflect from how bad the writing was.

Rockwell was pretty great as Dubya but casting likeable doofuses like him and Carrell just made me feel like the film was trying to exonerate everyone that wasn't Cheney. It just felt clumsy and dishonest.

this was fine, bale is good in it and its about as accurate and weighty as youd expect from watching the big short.

You take that back
