Review of American Hustle (2013) by Raji K — 04 Sep 2014
Director of Three Kings and Silver Linings Playbook presents his next film, American Hustle. A similar ensemble to Playbook, this movie is based on a true story involving to small time hustlers who get caught in a giant FBI scheme involving politicians and gangsters.
American Hustle certainly has great performances and is a character movie, but it just simply felt way too long. The movie in general lacked the artistic direction of Wolf of Wall Street, and the entertaining violence of a movie such as Goodfellas.
Although some might argue that is the best part of this movie is that it tried to be as realistic as possible, I just found this to be too long and over hyped.
