Vice takes scattershot aim at its targets, but writer-director Adam McKay hits some satisfying bullseyes -- and Christian Bale's transformation is a sight to behold.

What is perhaps most remarkable about Bale's and Adams's performances is that they supply depth and nuance to a film whose director appears to have had no appetite for either quality. Jan 29, 2019 | Full Review…

When a movie's premise is that its subject single-handedly moulded recent history, you want more depth and grandeur than this one provides. Jan 27, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's a skilled piece of comic acting which has the unlikely effect of making Cheney buffoonish as well as sinister... But McKay is quick to remind us what happened on Cheney's watch. Jan 24, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's a more ambitious political satire...Because it's about real people, real politicians and real deranged ambitions, and it places much of the blame for today's geopolitical ills...directly at their door. Oh, and it's also very funny. Jan 24, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Vice is a big fat mess of a film about a big fat mess (courtesy of script and make-up department) of an anti-hero. Jan 23, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It is a head-spinning shock-and-awe satire that comes in hot then cranks up the thermostat to infernal - a Molotov cocktail of biopic, documentary and black comedy, with a thrillingly short fuse. Jan 22, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

I think Adam McKay -- better than any filmmaker I can think of -- does a terrific job of rendering the opaque comprehensible. Sep 12, 2019 | Full Review…

Never in cinematic history has a movie so stunningly tear itself apart in less than 30 seconds - the final 30 seconds, no less. Jul 28, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

As fun as Vice is to watch, it feels less like a rounded biopic and more like a feature-length Saturday Night Live sketch - albeit a very good one. Jul 24, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It feels like McKay wishes he could go back and time and make movies like The Big Short when he was making Anchorman, which is sad, given how prescient and important those comedies were without trying so hard to be. Jul 17, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
