The one minute long spoof during the long end credit on the movie review focus group:
Man1: Something's been bothering me this whole movie and I just figured it out. The whole thing's liberal. It's got a liberal bias.
Moderator: Interesting. Does anyone else feel that way? ... One, two, three, four people. Yeah, go ahead.
Man2: It's all facts. Right I mean, they had to vet all this with a lawyer. How does that make it... What's liberal about that?
Man1: You would say that, lib-tard.
Man2: Okay, I'm sorry.So, because I have the ability to understand facts, that makes me a liberal?
Moderator: Okay, guys, let's just take it down.
Man1: You probably like Hillary.
Moderator: Let's take it down a notch or two, okay?
Man2: Idiot. Okay, first of all, Hillary's not president. Okay? The-the-the orange Cheeto that you hired is the president and he's ruining the country...
Man1: Trump is the best thing in this country.

The end justifies the mean?
I can feel your recriminations... and your judgment... and I am fine with it. You want to be loved, go be a movie star. The world is as you find it. You gotta deal with that reality. And there are monsters in this world. We saw 3,000 innocent people burned to death by those monsters. And yet you object... when I refuse to kiss those monsters on the cheek and say "pretty please." You answer me this. What terrorist attack would you have let go forward so you wouldn't seem like a mean and nasty fella? I will not apologize... for keeping your family safe. And I will not apologize... for doing what needed to be done... so that your loved ones can sleep peaceably at night. Has been my honor... to be your servant. You chose me... and I did what you asked.
Surprised that Rumsfeld's "Known-Knowns-unknown" speech was not mentioned at all. One may disagree with his politics and motives but being a doofus as portrayed in the film, he is not:
‘There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know.’

Add a CommentDid not enjoy this movie. Story line was hard to follow. Christian Bale’s transformation to Cheney was great, which was the only highlight.
I couldn't get into this. Cheney creeps me out
Great performances and very entertaining. I did not live in States during G.Bush so I don’t know how factual it is or at least which part is fabricated . Very messy there are many themes mashed together. Some moments caught me by surprise like the mid credit roll ( very funny) . Very strange movie indeed.
The thing with watching American’s politic is that it’s either Republican or Democrat, both have hunger of power and influence, try hard to get people buying into their point of view through mass media, claim they are the truth / fact, none are innocent. I compare this movie with Darkest Hour 2017, this movie is boring and too long.
Really good and entertaining film by Adam McKay! I love his stuff, including this one! I remember thinking that this was a crazy perfect movie! Bale is on another planet, he's a ridiculously amazing actor. The cast was solid, but Bale steals it. Great watch, highly recommend this one!
The film is light on data/facts & makes unsubstantiated claims. The take away is Republican politicians including Cheney are schemers, greedy, and basically evil. In essence, a Democrat promotional film. I very much worry that people will watch this film and assume that it is accurate.
Wildly uneven biopic of Dick Cheney. The make-up dept. gives the greatest performance. A better title would've been "Dick." I was surprised he had so many heart attacks because, well, I guess that means he has a heart. To the dissenters, it's not "liberal propaganda" if it's true.
a half hour was too big a slice of the unwatchable lead character; just say no.
Almost makes one feel that the outcome is to create a situation where a US president is above the law and can do whatever he/she wishes without consequence. Bravo.
Outstanding makeup. The film is far too light on data/facts; it just glosses the surface and makes unsubstantiated claims.
Again - the strongest feature is the way in which Bale was transformed into Cheney.
