‘Amsterdam’ trailer brings the best of Hollywood together – Chris Rock, who got embroiled in the Oscars slapgate this year, Christian Bale, who is known for his physical transformations, John David Washington of ‘Tenet’, the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ star Margot Robbie, Taylor Swift, Alessandro Nivola, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Shannon, Mike Myers and Zoe Salda’.
Chris and Bale find themselves in a sticky situation in the manic first look at director David O. Russell’s star-studded thriller, reports ‘Variety’.

“You have a dead white man in a box,” Chris Rock’s character says at the start of the ‘Amsterdam’ trailer. “Not even a casket. It doesn’t even have a top on it.” As he wheels the pine container away, he laments: “Who do you think is going to get in trouble here?”
From there, the 1930s-set trailer backs up in time to offer a little context to the confounding circumstances at hand. ‘Variety’ describes the story as “a fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction,” the crime epic follows three close friends – two soldiers played by Christian Bale and John David Washington and a nurse portrayed by Margot Robbie – who find themselves at the centre of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.

According to ‘Variety’, they find themselves accused of killing someone – “Which is not true,” Bale confides in compatriots played by Rami Malek and Anya Taylor-Joy. But they sure look guilty, at least according to those at the scene of the crime.

From there, the trailer goes off the rails as they set out to find someone, anyone (starting with Robert De Niro’s character, a friend of the victim who was killed “because of something monstrous he had seen”) to help them uncover the truth.
“This is becoming a lot larger than any of us,” observes Margot Robbie’s character, who has seen some stuff. “I had to stab a guy; I had to hit a lady with a brick one time.”

‘Variety’ further states that David O. Russell has also written and produced the film, marking his first feature since 2015’s ‘Joy’. Drake and Adel Nur serve as executive producers on ‘Amsterdam’.
