Review of Vice (2018) by Shermy — 28 Jan 2019
The visual conversion of Bale to Chaney was certainly a masterpiece. But the resultant character had zero screen personality. A boring emptiness. If that is what Cheney is really like, I would have preferred that the central character be George W. or Rumsfeld, both of whom had substantial personalities. Even Lynne Chaney would have been a better choice.
I'm a big fan of Bale, and to see him mummified by the Cheney persona was a disappointment. The role could have be played with less bother by any chubby actor who could monotone grunt very short sentences.
