When I watched the trailer of Amsterdam back in July, I could barely pay attention to the story thanks to the star-studded ensemble. It’s not to be dazzled by all the actors who signed up to do this David O. Russell’s movie, it’s starry even by his standards. Like Woody Allen (another white male director …
