What happens

Amsterdam is a 2022 mystery comedy thriller film produced, written, and directed by David O. Russell. It stars Christian Bale (also a producer), Margot Robbie, and John David Washington, alongside an ensemble supporting cast. Based on the Business Plot, a 1933 political conspiracy in the US, it follows three friends—a doctor, a nurse, and a lawyer—who reunite and seek to uncover the act following the mysterious murder of a retired U.S. general. Filmed in Los Angeles from January to March 2021, it is Russell's first film since Joy (2015). Amsterdam premiered at the Alice Tully Hall on September 18, 2022, and was released theatrically in the United States on October 7 by 20th Century Studios. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized Russell's screenplay and direction, as well as the lack of chemistry between Robbie and Washington. It was also a box-office bomb, with estimated losses for the studio of over $100 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
