A cocktail that left me high !!

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2014)

I was waiting for this film and finally got to see it last weekend.
Simply put, its a cocktail that hit me well and I was on a high when I left the theatre.
A nice story with a brilliant screenplay and some terrific dialogues. Add to this, Russell's direction and fine performances from its cast. Frankly, all the 5 actors are my favorites.
Bale shows why he a terrific performer. Unrecognizable with a paunch and wig, he's brilliant as Irving. A wrong man but you feel pity for him because of the circumstances he is in by the end credits.
Adams is sexy and uses her eyes beautifully to express herself while Lawrence is brilliant as Bale's nutcase wife. Lawrence has some of the best dialogues in the film and she uses her body language to the tee. She is 22 yrs old but plays the mother's part with perfection.Check out the scene where Adams and Lawrence meet in the washroom...Mindblowing.
Cooper is excellent as the success crazy and jerk FBI officer. He shows his desperation well while Renner plays his part well as a man who innocently gets caught in this muddle.
Loved the film and a must watch !!
