Unsolicited Movie Review - American Hustle
Just finished watching "American Hustle". Something about the 70's, the Mob, con-men movies that I typically like.
You can't help but think of Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco et al era. This movie isn't about the mafia but about a sting and the scamming and the effects of such an operation. It is darkly funny in places but not gruesome. Acting is superb. Some scenes draw on way too long and it has a tendency to bog down occasionally. Not sure if that is necessarily a problem with the story or a pretentious director.
Anyway for the acting alone it is worth seeing. Oh, did I mention Jennifer Lawrence was in it? If I didn't then let me just say Jennifer Lawrence is in it.
