Review of Bezos

Bezos (2023)
2/10
The Basement Tapes
31 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The film starts from the time Bezos (Armando Gutierrez) and his wife MacKenzie (Alex Mitchell) worked for D. E. Shaw (Marcus Lemonis), We are told Bezos was the youngest VP the company ever had several times. It ends with his first book sale in Seattle.

This is a sanitized version of the Bezos story, no doubt. We discovered it was a process to get to the name of the company. The CEO of Barnes & Noble (Kevin Sorbo) appears in the film so they could make him look bad. Most likely that is why they had Sorbo play him. The acting was horrible at best. Armando Gutierrez lacked facial expressions no matter who was yelling at him. He ignored his wife as bad as he ignored the audience. With all that music on Amazon to choose from, you would think they would come up with a decent soundtrack. It too was the pits. The cinematography was bad as most of the film took place in a basement and generally shot from just one angle. You don't need to know the story this bad.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
