American Hustle

American HustleThe Gist: An FBI agent with oversize dreams of bringing down the biggest bad guys he can get his hands on entraps a couple of con artists into helping him on his quest by using their talents in the game.

American Hustle is a rather brilliant film from one of the most promising American filmmakers to come on the scene in a while, David O. Russell.

The caper never stops turning the tables on the audience with inventive twists that keep the action going at a breakneck pace.  A decent amount of suspense helps tie it all together.

The cast is simply amazing.  Christian Bale and Amy Adams are absolutely stunning and Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jeremy Renner are great supporting players.

The Bottom Line: American Hustle is a movie I would recommend to everyone.  It’s entertaining and occasionally funny and it exudes talent in overwhelming waves.

Grade: 9
