Read on for a selection of reviews or pop in to make up your own mind!
VICE “A must-see before next month’s Oscars. Bale is currently joint favourite – he gets the number one vote here.” 4/5 – RTÉ
“Bale’s Cheney is an extraordinary creation, a lumbering predator who speaks quietly, watches everything and never misses a trick” 4/5 – Irish Independent
“Brainy, audacious, opinionated and fun, “Vice” is a tonic for troubled times.” LA Times
“Adam McKay’s flamethrowing take on Dick Cheney, played by a shockingly brilliant Christian Bale, polarizes by being ferociously funny one minute, bleakly sorrowful the next, and ready to indict the past in the name of our scarily uncertain future.” 4/5 – Rolling Stone
“The ensemble is magnificently rude and amoral, but even better is Vice’s thrusting spirit of montage — daredevil editing that hasn’t been attempted since the high-flying heyday of Oliver Stone.” 4/5 – Time Out
