O. Russell nails it once again

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2014)

David O. Russell's Gimmicky Tale of crime and corruption. Set in late 70′s New Jersey, Two con artists Irving Rosenfeld and Sydney Prosser are forced into helping out on an FBI investigation lead by Richard "Richie" DiMaso that unveils corruption and bribery at the highest level of congress and throughout the Mafia. O. Russell brings together Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence again who he worked with in his last movie 'Silver Linings Play book' hoping they can bring to this movie what they did the later and propel it on to award after award. It turns out they can, the film is receiving nomination after nomination. Pairing Cooper ad Lawrence up with Christian Bale and Amy Adams, well you might just have a masterpiece.
This movies not quite a masterpiece but its close. A fantastic tale shot in a fantastic way with fantastic actors, there is not too much to say bad about this movie except maybe its a tiny bit too long. You can loose interest for a moment at times but then your brought straight back into it.
Lawrence continues her flourishing career with a scene stealing performance, you live the cinema remembering her part more then any of the others. Not to say the others are not great because they are. OH and look out for a little cameo role from a familiar face.
