American Hustle (2013)
Directed by David O.
Russell this film stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper,
Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner. Two con artists are forced to
help the FBI in a large sting operation during the late 1970s.
This film is a good
slice of fun that really takes the 70s setting and runs with it
creating a great backdrop for the con story. While this is film is
inspired by real events it never claims to be the trust and I think
that works well both in terms of being entertaining and reflects the
nature of the story. What really holds the film together is some
excellent performances from the cast, especially the female leads and
while the film may not be the deepest you will ever see it is
entertaining through out.
4/5
