Vice

Vice

Dir. Adam McKay

Annapurna Pictures

With politics dominating nearly every second of every day, sometimes it can be hard to remember a time any different from our present. Thankfully, writer/director Adam McKay (The Big Short) is able to take us back to a time not so long ago when things seemed perhaps simpler, but not all that different with Vice. The film follows the life of former Vice President Dick Cheney (played by Christian Bale) as he rises from a Yale University dropout to the holder of one of the most powerful offices in our country. Dark, funny and informative, Vice is one to see immediately. (Simon Weedn)
