Vice

Adam McKay's fascinating, engaging, factually based, humorous, star-studded (Tyler Perry, Steve Carell, Bill Camp, Jesse Plemmons, Eddie Marsan, Shea Whigham, Justin Kirk, Don McManus, LisaGay Hamilton, Bob Stephenson, Ronald Regan, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, and Richard Nixon), 132-minute political satire that delves into the life and powerful, tumultuous career of shrewd, Yale-dropout Richard Bruce Cheney (Christian Bale), who was pushed by his ambitious wife Lynne (Amy Adams) to make something of himself and together raised two daughters (Alison Pill and Lily Rabe), from his days as a congressional intern in 1968, White House chief of staff, Wyoming U. S. House of Representative, Secretary of Defense under President George H. W. Bush (John Hillner), to financially successful Halliburton CEO, and finally to his wheeling-and-dealing days as Vice President from 2001 to 2009 under President George W. Bush (Sam Rockwell).
