Amsterdam (2022)
David O’Russell’s latest movie, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” has only just hit cinemas, so it’s something of a surprise to see it streaming on Disney+ so soon. If you didn’t catch this epic crime drama on the big screen, you now have the opportunity to watch it at home. A large ensemble cast, including Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and Anya Taylor-Joy star in this 1930s-set tale about three friends who find themselves involved in one of the most outrageous plots in American history. Despite the talents in front of and behind the camera, the movie failed to make an impact with many critics. You can check out our review here. ..

This new series takes place in the same universe as the previous movies but if you’re hoping to see Nic Cage make a return as Benjamin Gates, you’re going to be disappointed.
