American Hustle
I am finding it hard to rate to rate this this movie. The movie itself I didn't think was all that great. The story as a whole is a mess. Although I did love the over dramatic rose tinted view of the 70's with all the hair and over elaborate music which is more how people remember it and not really how it was.
You have to give it to Russel though. He knows how to get top notch performances from his actors, and that for me is what is great about this movie. The acting showcase. While the overall story is a mess, the writing for the characters is great and the acting out of them even better. Bale and Adams were awesome as the main duo and cooper shows yet again that he is a quality, serious actor. Jeremy Renner also did a great job. For me though, Jennifer Lawrence stole it. Her portrayle of Rosalyn Rosenfeld was flawless.
I can see this being one of those movies people even like or hate, but everyone will agree that the acting on show is of the very highest caliber.
