American Hustle

The movie was just too random at time. There are scenes between people that aren't needed, aren't wanted and or add no value tot he story.

The story was so slow to develop and basically went nowhere. It took so long for me to sorta start enjoying it but I never really did discover the point to it.

The director of this movie tried to imitate Martin Scorsese making a TERRIBLE job.. the situations in the script are obviously forced and out of place, the argument is fetched, has no meaning, the characters are ridiculous, their attitudes and behavior a disaster.

I finally got to see the whole film, "American Hustle" (as opposed to the first 1/2 hour on a flight), and thought it was the best new film I've seen in a long time. Based on the true story of the ABSCAM FBI sting of the '70s, the couple Irving (Christian Bale) and Sydney (Amy Adams) tear up the screen with great chemistry, dialogue, and style.

I did not enjoy the film because all you can hear is mumble,mumble and more mumble! For Christ sakes, you might as well be looking at a gibberish movie and not understand a word of English outta the actors on this!

I'd heard lots about this film but never seen it until it popped up on TV the other night. The plot (such as it was) sounded intriguing, so we cracked a bottle of wine and settled down to watch.

This happened to be on Channel 4 the other night and I decided to see bits of it. The story is about two con artists both played by The Dark Knight's Christian Bale(looking unrecongisble )and Enchanted's Amy Adams who are partners in crime who team up with some FBI agent (played by The Hangover's Bradley Cooper sporting a perm in this 1970s styled flick)and they get help from him.

The acting from all round was amazing. I find it very hard to believe that Christian bale didn't win a major award for his role I thought he was the stand out actor in this along side Jennifer Lawrence.
