David O. Russell's shambolic Amsterdam cranks up the star power but still falls short
The scenes in the Dutch capital are all warmly lit interiors, with big windows and art. Alas, if the movie’s title had you hoping for shots of Margot Robbie strolling along canals or alongside windmills, you’ll have to take your Hollandophilic ass elsewhere. Besides, we only catch these moments in flashback, before things go sour into the 1930s, with poverty overwhelming America and a new threat looming in Europe.
Things heat up again when Harold and Burt are visited by a young woman who is convinced that her father—an important Army man who acted respectfully to the Black troops during the war—did not die by natural causes. Just when we begin to believe her, she too is killed, in a rather surprising manner. The death is pinned on Harold and Burt, prompting them to go scrounging for alibis from society folk who will vouch for them.
