What can I say about Vice? Bale was amazing as Dick Cheney, but the main reason to see it is to see him in that transforming make-up and hair (or lack thereof), and those glasses. The rest of the movie? Bleeding liberal wanking, too much winking, too much trying to be an Oliver Stone movie, but basically being The Big Short of Dick Cheney, but coming up short this time in the presentation department. And what’s the take away, anyways? Hard to tell, other then I think the Cheneys are a nice family who have politics and practices that may be different from your own. So what’s the point? Don’t ask me, I didn’t make the movie, but sat thru it. Maybe they should have stopped in the middle, with the faux credits. That was clever. But the rest of the movie was too clever for its own good, or it thought it was clever and it wasn’t good. Again, hard to tell
