The crime thriller “Amsterdam” concludes Mystery Month in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center. The film stars a number of popular actors in leading and cameo roles – including Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Robert De Niro, Taylor Swift, and Rami Malek – and will be screened Saturday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

During World War I, Burt Berendsen (Bale) and his best friend, Harold Woodsman (Washington) meet volunteer nurse Valerie Voze (Robbie) when they’re both injured in battle. The three become friends and form a pact to protect each other, no matter what. When they go on a trip together to Amsterdam, Valerie mysteriously disappears; and the three close friends find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history. A fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction.

The Detroit News calls the film “a zany farce with a sweet core.” USA Today calls it “an all-star game where everybody excels at their roles and no one’s showboating.” Rated R for brief violence and bloody images, “Amsterdam” runs two hours, 14 minutes.

Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891.
