Dick Cheney is
working as the CEO of Halliburton Co and he is selected to be the running mate
of Governor George W. Bush in the 2000 Presidential Election. Cheney has had jobs as White House
Chief of Staff, House Minority Whip and Defense Secretary. George Bush wins by a narrow margin and
Cheney is delighted by his newfound power as the VEEP. He wants to reshape the country and the world!! He will start by the
invasion of Iraq by the United States.
There is a LOT of
information in this film!! A lot
of it is bad because the characters are shady and they do underhanded things!! The truth doesn’t matter and they want
the country to go their way or the highway!! Much of the information released to the American people
after the destruction of the towers in New York was false!! 3 ½* (I liked this movie.
132 min,
Bio directed and written by Adam McKay with Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Steve
Carell, Sam Rockwell, Alison Pill, Eddie Marsan, Justin Kirk, LsaGay Hamilton,

100 with 54 critics 6.5 out of 10 with 238 reviews (136 positive, mixed 64,
negative 38), Amazon 3.3* out of 5* with 714 reviews.
Special Note: Christian Bale in the role of Cheney
said he had to do more research for this film than any other film he’s
done. Director Adam McKay uses an
improvisational style of directing.
Bale also gained 45 pounds, shaved his head, bleached his eyebrows and
exercised to thicken his neck!! He
ate a lot of pies!! Director Adam McKay
suffered a mild heart attack during post-production. He used some black-and-white footage of the procedure to
insert the stent in his heart in this film. Amy
Adams stayed in character during filming for the first time!! Sam Rockwell wore a prosthetic in his
mouth and a prosthetic nose. Filmed
in Kern River and Santa Clarita, California.
