American Hustle
Directed by: David O. Russell
Starring: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner
Rating: A
It has been a number of months since my last movie review blog. I have seen many movies since then, but American Hustler is definitely worthy of being my first review upon my return to the blogosphere.
American Hustler is a fast moving clever movie that never lost my attention. The acting is terrific and as a moviegoer I really lost myself in the story. There is a surprise at the ending, as some of my favorite movies have. I like it when you think you have a story figured out and then one thing changes, minor or major, to make you rethink all that came before.
The blast from the past setting of this movie makes the scenes seem even more magical. Corruption is not a new thing, and this movie definitely proves that as cons try to “get over on all these guys” as Amy Adam’s character proclaims in a line that now appears was very prophetic. This is definitely one of my favorite films of the year. I give it an "A" rating sincerely urge you to go see it!
