Don't forget, Bush CHOSE Cheney - a well-matched duo ... if you like that kind of thing - an oil baron and his right-hand, war-mongering hawk.
The film about Dick Cheney, the VP under G.W. Bush fully displays the terribly cold and calculating Cheney who paved the way for increased executive power and war mongering that still rules the US politics today. It also shows how incredibly naive Bush was, as he was no match for his cunning VP.
What I found the most interesting in the film is who the narrator is; that is very clever story telling.
Scary.
Yikes! Dick Cheney and company have created some very dangerous loopholes in government that still exist . A very good and edifying movie. Biting satire with Christian Bale as Reagan's VP . Amy Adams and he are excellent as modern day Macbeth and wife with the tragedy affecting the U.S. citizens not the ambitious pair.
