Review of Amsterdam

Amsterdam (2022)
4/10
Offended by gruesome stuff in a supposed comedy thriller
27 April 2023
For my taste, extensive and needless medical details were out of place in something advertised as comedy thriller. And the blurb on the disk I got gave no warning.

It also seemed to me disrespectful for a bunch of actors to be treating real human suffering as raw material.

If done in a different spirit, it might have been a good drama, since the central event was actually real.

Or it could have been done comically, but without showing so much suffering and death, all of it based on real events.

Clearly it does not offend many viewers. But I regard such people out of line. Making a joke of things that are not funny.
