The only movie about con men that I liked in the last 10 years

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2014)

Why? Because the characters were human. Not some smart pants with grandiose, non-understandable plans to fool the world but with humane problems and life goals. I LOVED Christian Bale. When you look at him in this movie you forget that he has gained weight for it, that he wears a creepy wig, you forget the opening scene with the glue and the hair and the hanging belly. You see the character. A strong, fun, touching man who has a vision and is a pro in what he does.
The rest of the cast is good too. But one step behind. In other pluses - The Dancing scene in Studio 54 - The soundtrack - so 70s but without all the cliché.
