Sidney Lumet’s take on Agatha Christie was also an Avengers knockoff.

Didn’t Bale have to intervene to stop Russell from being such a dick to one of his actors? But he’s still willing to work with him. And I recall Lily Tomlin seemed to brush aside his actions even though there’s that video of him throwing that ridiculous tantrum at her.

Which parts of this actually happened? I know the title is “Amsterdam”, but it doesn’t seem like most of the film takes place there.
