At first glance I thought American Hustle was an over
glamorous comedy, oh, how wrong I was.
The first scene of American Hustle made me chuckle, it’s
always a nice surprise to be greeted by such a strong opening image.
The direction and acting come together in a wonderful storm.
David O. Russell has had two great films in the last three years; Silver
Linings Playbook is not included. American Hustle has taken the film headlines,
as it being nominated for ten Oscars. This film keeps you engaged from start to
finish and you don’t find your mind wondering what you’re having for dinner.
Christian Bale steals the spotlight for two reasons. The
first being his terrific acting, and the second being another dramatic weight
gain. I don’t think anybody knows how he does it. He defiantly deserves to be
nominated for best actor; again.
The direction is fairly fresh, which is pleasant to see.
However, it’s not anything we’ve not seen before. Yes, this is a very typical
Oscar film, but it’s not anything to turn your nose up over.
Like I said, it’s engaging to watch and indeed should be watched. Oh, there's also the wardrobe.
8.0/10
