The Laundromat (2019)

Despite its title, this film has no scenes that occur in a laundromat.
Despite its bizarre structure, the film mostly flows well. It starts out simple enough, Ellen and Joe Martin (Meryl Streep and James Cromwell) go on a riverboat cruise but somehow, for some odd reason, a wave comes along, forcing the tour boat to tip over, killing 21 souls.
But things get complicated quick. The tour boat company bought its insurance from a fake company, which means that the case settles for far less than what it was worth. And the film just expands from there, forcing us to scratch our heads at to how people are getting away with all these fake companies. And where does all the money come from? But at least there is some justice in the end, though the corrupt laws do not get changed, but at least several people in several different countries are arrested.
Still, there are good performances to spare, with Streep in a shocking duel role, thanks to the WTF ending, the narrators/lawyers Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas not to mention cameos from Melissa Rauch, Chris Parnell, Will Forte, Jeffrey Wright (who has a second family), Larry Wilmore, David Schwimmer, Cristela Alonzo and Robert Patrick. What a power cast.
Sure, the ending is completely weird and makes you second guess the whole film, but this film is needed to expose the businesses and to call them out for being corrupt and screwing with other people's money. Grade: B+
-Is Meryl Streep capable of a bad performance?
-Also, a lot of men cheat on their wives, two in this film at least.
-The sets are gorgeous and look like a million bucks, which they probably are.
-It is nice seeing a multicultural cast in a major Hollywood film, too bad most of the characters are criminals.
