Vice (2018)

All of the tricks that worked so well for McKay when he employed them for The Big Short are back on display here, but they don't feel as fresh as they did the first time around. Though I'm the choir being preached to here, the only thing this film accomplished was to give me some understanding for Dick. I came away thinking that all he did was to exploit faults inherent in our political machine (e.g. the vice president being an appointed position). That's on us.

The best thing here was Amy Adams' no-nonsense portrayal of Lynn Cheney.
