Review (American Hustle)

I saw a very enjoyable movie, American Hustle, with my sister this vacation week. I would highly recommend it. Set in the 1970s, it centers around the FBI sting Abscam. It stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner. The first four have been nominated (Golden Globes) for Best Actor/Actress/Supporting and

Sounds like it'll be a good movie. I've seen the trailer and I cannot believe that is Christian - he looks so different.

The sucky part is, it doesn't start screening here for another month. Ugh, I hate that NZ is so behind everyone else in a lot of things.

Very fun movie! It blended drama and comedy together seamlessly. :)

And I had to blink watching the opening scene. "Is that Christian?" But as usual his acting is superb and he really is Irving, con artist extraordinaire. :)

It looks pretty interesting- I may just go see it in the theater!

[bradygirl_12]

Yes, go! :)

It's really pretty interesting with the plot and the performances really sell it. Christian is amazing as usual and everyone else really does a great job. :)

Thanks for the review - this is on my "want to go see at the movie theatre but probably won't get to until it hits DVD" list. :) I am going to try though, if only to see JR in those clothes.

You're welcome, m'dear!

Omigod, his HAIR! And he really works those clothes. ;)

Jeremy does a fantastic job as Camden's Italian-American Mayor, Carmine Polito. And naturally Christian just knocks his role out of the park. :)
