Vice is the new biopic from Oscar-winning filmmaker Adam McKay (The Big Short) about the controversial former Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney. Christian Bale transforms his appearance to play Cheney. Bale is joined by Amy Adams (Lynne Cheney), Sam Rockwell (George W. Bush), and Steve Carell (Donald Rumsfeld). WBEZ film contributor and Facets Chicago founder, Milos Stehlik, joins Worldview to review Vice, a film he calls a “half-brilliant mess.”
