Second film of the year and the first Odeon Screen Unseen..
After chatting to a member of staff on Saturday, the general rumour going around was that it was going to be 'Vice'.
This is Christian Bales latest 'shot at an Oscar', playing an overweight Dick Cheney (vice president to George W Bush Jr).
Bale is the new 'De Niro' when it comes to method acting, and to be fair the transformation is quite dramatic. Where Gary Oldman was mainly prosthetic for his Churchill performance, here it appears to be all cake.
There's good support too. Amy Adams is always excellent and I think this may be the only film I've seen Sam Rockwell not dance in..
As I'm not to up on the US political system, I struggled to keep up a bit at certain points (very similar to another Christian Bale flick 'The Big Short')
All in all though, the film was entertaining.
***1/2
