The character arcs alone are worth the price of admission. The director rarely strays from the historical record, but like a good WW2 film, that's often the best tack to take. There's an almost electric pacing to the movie, and the few times the fourth wall is broken, it doesn't come across like an intrusion.

As good as Bale is, Amy Adams really gets to exercise a much fuller range of emotive acting than we've seen from her.

I never realized just who evilLynne is. I think in some ways the wife is worse then he is.

his back stage maneuvers play a huge role in the level of destruction that the Rethugs are bringing down on this country. Throughout the movie I kept saying to myself — Oh good
Lord!

It should be nominated for best picture.

It's not just a compelling look at Cheney, it's also an insight into what got us here today.

Oh, and there is a mid-credit scene, too. Wait for it after the America song from West Side Story.
