Skip it—Amsterdam is a wildly ambitious period mystery that swings for the fences but mostly whiffs, drowning a potentially fascinating historical conspiracy under bloated direction and a mismatched tonal mess. Even with a stacked cast including Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, the film never finds its footing between screwball comedy and serious intrigue, leaving you frustrated rather than entertained.
