Amsterdam may be named after one place, but it spans the globe and multiple decades. David O. Russell wrote and directed the 20th Century Studios and New Regency comic historical mystery, which opened in October and is now streaming on HBO Max.
Russell directed Bale to his Oscar for The Fighter and again in American Hustle. Bale this time plays Dr. Burt Berendson, a doctor who repairs faces damaged by war and other accidents. His partner is lawyer Harold Woodman, Esq. (John David Washington), with whom he served in World War I. In 1933 New York, the daughter of one of their former war generals asks them to perform an autopsy. They become embroiled in a murder mystery that involves their time in the war too.
The film flashes back to Burt and Harold’s service in France, where they meet nurse Valerie Voze (Margot Robbie) in the hospital. They become inseparable and travel to Amsterdam together, where Harold and Valerie fall in love. They’re reunited with Valerie in the ’30s, as well as Valerie’s brother Tom (Rami Malek) and his wife Libby Vote (Anya Taylor-Joy) while they evade two detectives (Alessandro Nivola and Mathias Schoenarts).
But that’s not all. This stacked cast also includes Ed Begley Jr. as the first murder victim, Taylor Swift as his daughter, Andrea Riseborough as Burt’s wife Beatrice, Mike Meyers and Michael Shannon as spies, Chris Rock as Harold’s legal assistant, Zoe Saldana as Burt’s true love, Timothy Olyphant as a nefarious shadow figure, and Robert De Niro as a general loosely inspired by the real General Smedley Baker.
