I didn’t want to see the movie, but my husband did. I went along out of curiosity and afterwards, all I could say was ‘wow, I didn’t realize that Dick Cheney was the source of everything bad and negative that has ever happened in the USA’. Yes, that is how he was portrayed. I really couldn’t stand Bale or Sam Rockwell (one of my fave actors these days) as GWB. If anyone thinks this movie is even remotely akin to what happened during GWB’s tenure in the WH, I feel sorry for them as they are delusional.
“I didn’t realize that Dick Cheney was the source of everything bad and negative that has ever happened in the USA.”
I agree it was a hit job. I did not take it literally.
