a modern classic i loved it

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2014)

Amazing costumes, amazing actors, great music all in all a great movie. a top notch cast of my favorite actors headline this fact based tale of con scheme. a man and woman con artist team have made good money scamming desperate people, all is well for them, until... A wild, unhinged cop named Richie(played superbly by Bradley Cooper) brings them down. Now he has a deal help him bring down some people or they both go to jail.. Soon they work with him and nothing is as it seems. the trap is set and anything can happen. Amy Adams and Christian Bale(unrecognizable and 40 pounds heavier)do a great job as the con artists Irving and Sidney. Jeremy Renner is superb as Mayor Carmine Polito who gets involved with the con artist's alluring scheme. But its Jennifer Lawrence who steals the show as Irving's crazed, manipulative wife, Rosalyn. One of the best films of 2013 and a new classic in 70's style cinema.
