Loosely based on real events, David O. Russell‘s uneven film follows the travails of three friends and survivors of World War I (Christian Bale, John David Washington, and Margot Robbie) who for a time lived together in Amsterdam before being reunited later in New York and embroiled in a murder mystery involving a poisoned general (Ed Begley Jr.) and the daughter (Taylor Swift) who police mistakenly believe the two men pushed in front of a moving car. True events involve a mysterious organization and their plans to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Both a critical and box office failure, writer/director Vaughn Stein‘s stylish neo-noir thriller is more notable for the look of the film than anything else. The convoluted plot, which relies on two late twists and extended monologuing to the audience in the final ten minutes to tie the disparate threads of the story together, involves a cast of characters including a waitress (Margot Robbie), English teacher (Simon Pegg), and pair of assassins (Max Irons and Dexter Fletcher) who keep coming back to a rundown train station for reasons even they don’t understand.
