WIN TICKETS TO
VICE
Oscar-winning
writer/director Adam McKay (The
Big Short) brings his trademark wit to the true story of US
Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice.

takes charge, wielding his newfound power as VP to reshape the country
and the world - with lasting consequences. Featuring a star cast, Vice is a smart,
irreverent comedy-drama that will shock and entertain in equal
measure.
