American Hustle

“American Hustle” is a great movie with fantastic performances by Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence. The movie goes behind the scenes to tell a story that has surprising twists and cameo appearances in this look at theft and underworld activities.

I think this film was amazingly directed by David O. Russell, who really seems to know how to interact with the movie cast, much as he did in his award-winning movie, “Silver Linings Playbook.” The cast is terrific in this unforgettable film.

Bale should be nominated for an Oscar for his performance. His interaction with Adams was phenomenal and she deserves an nod as well. As does Jennifer Lawrence as best supporting actress.

I give this movie four out of four stars.
