I have rarely come out of a film buzzing as much as I did leaving the theatre after American Hustle. Director David O. Russel has brought us a film with a razor sharp script involving story and incredible acting.
I would like to start with Christian Bale:
Bale continues to show he is one of the top actors in Hollywood, he can go from being Batman to American Psycho to his brilliant co-star role in the fighter. Here he plays a brilliant con-man. He had to put on a lot of weight for this role and he looked every bit the part. He was phenomenal in this movie.
Bradley Cooper was also fantastic in this movie.
Amy Adams was sexy and alluring and really showed what a talent she is as an actress. I recently enjoyed her role in "Trouble with the curve" here she plays a completely different characte,r and her scenes with Cooper and Bale dripped with sensuality and intensity. Even still Jennifer Lawrence possibly stole the best supporting actress Oscar from her; as she was a mixture between completely insane, but also funny and also mesmerising. She brought everything and her character almost brought the hustle and Bale down. This is an amazing performance from Lawrence. The whole supporting cast did its part, and a special mention to De Niro as the terrifying crime boss. His one scene is so intense you will still be talking about it afterwards.
I won't go into the plot, but the directing was cut from the same cloth as a great Tarantino movie in terms of razor sharp dialogue and moments equally tense, but also with a comic edge. This film has everything and I thoroughly recommend it.
