“Amsterdam”

7.2

Narrative cajones on par with the team behind “The Card Counter.” Releasing a movie about Abu Ghraib on the anniversary of 9/11 is only approached by releasing a movie loosely tied to the Business Plot (when wealthy businessmen plotted to overthrow FDR’s government in the fog of WW2) around, well, everything going on today. A fantastic ensemble cast filled to the brim with talent. A “Knives Out” level whodunnit that doesn’t fully fall into place until the final 5 minutes that takes globetrotting mystery to a whole new level. But it’s a definite deep cut on the conspiracy list, so you might want to brush up on the Wikipedia page prior to viewing.
