Review of American Hustle (2013) by Eduardo C — 10 Aug 2016

Thank God for David O. Russell. This was the film Marty Scorsese could have made but never did. It lacks Marty's notorious blood and guts falling out violence and that's for the best. What it has is brilliant ensemble acting by Bale, Cooper, Adams, Lawrence, Renner and Louise C.

K. It is dynamic, gripping, exciting and a WHOLE LOTTA fun. I love that it says at the beginning "Some of this actually happened". It's honest and mysterious that way, unlike a film that pretends to be all true but isn't, such as "Argo".

This film is much better than that one.
