- AjayJanuary 25, 2026I'm always amazed by Christian Bale's transformations, and as Dick Cheney he doesn't fail to excel. While the film does feel really strong with its portrayal of real events and the key players around this various administrations Cheney had his millions of toes in, my main gripe is around the time jumps. Every other scene switches back and forth betwene young(er) Cheney and old Cheney, and it does become difficult to follow along, even with the narration in the background. But, don't let that discourage you from skipping this biopic. It's really well done, and the performances of everyone involved are just spectacular.
