I have a thing for Republican Supervillain Egomaniacs.
Especially Richard Nixon.
Vice covers Dick Cheney's life and the most crucial moments of his career, in which he was at his most powerful. The film has an attitude, and a sense of comedic timing in the way that its edited. It's really a good example of how to make a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat, regardless of how dry or mundane the subject matter.
Vice is, at its core is a tale about a young Sheev Palpatine growing into the evil Emperor Palpatine, and George W. Bush is Darth Vader.
Donald Rumsfeld is Darth Plaguis.
The difference is, when the Death Star blows up, The Emperor gets even more powerful, everyone blames Vader, and they attack the rebels on the Oil Planet.
If you had ever asked yourself, "what would it be like if The Prequel Trilogy was fun to watch and had as many lightsaber fights as The Last Jedi?" Vice is the answer to that question.
It's everything House of Cards tries to be without muddling around and injecting filler and drama. Every second of the two hour film is somehow fresh, and cut differently from the last. Oh yeah and Meth Damon is there too.
Watch this movie.
Vice is pretty good I guess
