overrated

Rating: 2/10 (29 January 2014)

American hustle is probably the most overrated movie in recent memory. just a huge star cast and clichéd story. plot so thin even a child would have guessed it. above all mediocre acting, especially by Louie ck. The portrayal of 70s era was also very poorly executed. (PS I have not witnessed the time period myself). i base my perception on classic movies of that period and based on that period. I appreciate the efforts gone into giving particular looks to the star cast. especially of Cristian Bale. The movie seemed to have garnered some rave reviews from critics, is it because the huge and influential star cast. the movie was not funny too, as some people are saying.
