Every Margot Robbie Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

14. Amsterdam (2022)

2022 was a year that featured several high profile box office bombs, such as Lightyear, Strange World, and Devotion. Included in this list, possibly right at the top, was David O. Russell's Amsterdam. Initially touted as a potential Oscar winner, with an ensemble cast that could make literally any other film in history jealous, the movie quite famously failed to live up to its lofty budget and expectations.

The story revolves around three friends (Christian Bale, John David Washington, and Margot Robbie) who get framed for murder in a story that couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a wacky comedy or a serious social commentary. 

There were plenty of harsh reviews for Amsterdam upon its release, with the inconsistent tone, uninspired direction, and poor script in particular coming under fire. Not one single bad word was aimed at Margot Robbie, though, as she and Christian Bale were easily and unsurprisingly the highlights.

Though not what was necessarily expected - as it fell short of being another American Hustle from David O. Russell - Bale and Robbie in particular make Amsterdam worth a watch, though probably just the once.
