#214 - American Hustle (2013) Review


American Hustle (2013), David O. Russell
2/5

Awful acting, awful writing, awful music choice, just plain awful. This movie is such a disppointment to such a great genre. It has nothing on Sopranos which granted you may ask how can you compare 6 seasons to 2hrs of film, but even the worst 50 minute episode of Sopranos was far better than this film. Another great film that surpasses this is Scarface. For me, the worst aspect of the film is the casting choice and it's beyond me why Louis C. K. is in this film at all, and every one of the "big name" cast were terrible with sloppy accents, with Christian Bale being the one exception and he was only just good. And that's saying a lot considering I'm not a Christian Bale fan. Overall the plot was uninteresting and not very stimulating and like the many revealing dresses in the film, it revealed too much and had no class.
