REVIEW : Follow The Cinema Company
American Hustle, the latest film by director David O Russell has that element or rather the X factor in it that makes the viewers interest right from the very beginning till the very end. The two main ingredients making the drama more appealing are performance as well as the storyline. Screenplay plays an all important part in the film's overall perspective making this hustle a pleasant movie watching experience.
Fun and entertainment is guaranteed right from the opening sequence of the movie where Bale shows of his big belly which form part of his physical transformation for this film. The characters have been well written and the screenplay offer many a memorable moments including humour on many occasions, American Hustle is a well made film in every sense making it to the list of must watch category films.
Based on a real sting operation of 1970's, the story revoles around two con-artists, Irving and Sidney who are forced to catch more criminals or else they will have to land up in jail. The two are entrapped into this by FBI agent Richard DeMaso who wants the two to do a sting operation against some criminals and top politicians.
Rest of the story focus on the operation and how this affects the duo's personal life and relationships.
As said before, the story has smartly written characters and David O Russell has carried over what he did from his previous and successful work, Silver Linings Playbook.
The costumes, the set, the looks and the overall backdrop has the late 1970's feel where the story unfoldand credit for that goes to the art department as well as make up and costumes section.
On the acting side, Christian Bale as Irving was the pick among the lot and he has definitely put in hardwork in terms of acting as well as physically to look different. Amy Adams as Sidney supported Bale's character in the film very well.
Bradley Cooper, the FBI agent and Jennifer Lawrence as Rosalyn (Irving's wife) are the other two notable performance stealers. Robert Di Nero appears in a cameo as a fake Arabic and he was a treat to watch in that brief role.
Overall, the comedy drama deserves a watch and it offer more than what we expect. I am giving 3.75 / 5 for American Hustle, a movie that won't disappoint you, so go and grab your tickets now.
