Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChristian Bale stopped talking to Chris Rock on set. He claimed that he was very funny, which made it hard for him to act.
- GoofsMike Myers' character is captioned as being MI6. Although the British Secret Service Bureau was created in 1909, it was not known as MI6 until World War II.
- Quotes
Burt Berendsen: Each one of us is given a tapestry, our own opera. This person and this person. Thinking about it... love is not enough. You got to fight to protect kindness. You get attached to people and things. And they might just break your heart... but that's being alive.
- Crazy creditsBefore ending credits, video of US Marine Corps Major Gen. Smedley Butler, the man on whom the film based the character of Gen. Dillenbeck, is shown side by side with video of Butler's speech.

Featured review
Dreary Watch From Start To Finish
Amsterdam
This strange movie was riddled with problems from the start, the plot was predicated on mystery men in the background pulling the strings of society through wealth and privilege for whatever nefarious reason all to be revealed at the denouement, an outcome we had all guessed long since!
What occupied the main body of the movie were either anarchic and incomprehensible contrivances that were meant to be funny, however I didn't laugh once, medical procedures of the most graphic variety, and strange stilted dialogue between the protagonists. There was just no chemistry between the three "inseparable friends" that took the leads.
With an almost entirely black cast there was a bizarre thread of racism/outcast/underclass running throughout the movie, it was quite inexplicable.
My main concern is two fold, the under utilisation of some truly first class acting talent and the terrible editing that led to a lumbering and patchy narrative flow. The movie was 25 minutes too long.
To my mind this movie did not need to be made and overall it flopped at the box office costing 80 million to make and grossing only 15 million overall in the US......ouch!
I am struggling to give this 5 outta 10 and I remembering avoiding watching this in Cineworld after the terrible reviews.
