Bale and Adams killed it. I feel Cooper (playing an Italian guy) and Lawrence (seems like she was playing a women 10 years her senior) although admirable were a bit miscast. Jeremy Renner although not Italian either pulled it off better than Bradley Cooper.
The story and direction were top notch. David O Russell is a very good film maker.

American Hustle was just what the title says...Batman, Lois Lane, Hawkeye and Limitless did their thing in this movie. They all played their roles REAL WELL. However when Katniss Everdeen came on the screen she controlled the show like :gladbron:

What role CAN'T she play? :damn: She is only 23 and she on screen acting like a middle aged woman like NOTHING :wow:

Adams was good but at times her fake accent floundered and she sounded American when she should have been sounding English and it irked me

Edit:
:salute: to 2 boardwalk empire characters in it. Eli thompson mentioning atlantic city was :banderas:

Great movie, Jennifer Lawrence was kind of garbage though. Everyone else, Bale and Adams especially, were very convincing and Lawrence took me out of the movie in some of her scenes with how goofy and over the top she was. Not that she sucks in general, but in this at least she was like a high school play actress playing diva/selfish.

Deniro was gully, the meeting scene with him and Adams and Cooper at the club were two of my favorites. Bale was very good, this was one of the best movies ive seen this year.

The whole time i thought he was playing a jewish guy because of the curls in his hair but then you find out he used the curlers and you see his mom and family but other than that Cooper played that awkward power driven detective well

and theadstarter is right there was not clear good guy and bad guy each character had elements you wanted to root for but you also saw their flaws as humans

Had the :banderas: going all 2+ hours. Didnt know going it was a dark comedy, some parts had me :dead: the best of the directors films by far and that random cameo had me :lolbron:

Movie itseelf was paced great , I wouldnt of been mad at 30 more mins tacked on definitely has that Casino vibe as well. Just a great movie...

Leo and Scorcese wont dissapoint but I wouldnt be surprised for this to sweep up at Oscar time

I get that but it might be because her character isn't really English and was faking it.
when she bent over in the bathroom stall though. :takedat:
