Great disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (10 January 2014)

I was really looking forward to see this one, especially because of the stellar cast that is in the movie, but unfortunately my disappointment was even bigger than my initial excitement - even though some of the acting can get some mild accolades, everything else is very lame - from the plot to the character development. The story narrative is thin and it never gets going really...you expect something big to happen, but, guess what, it doesn't!?! The so called hustle in movie is so lame and transparent, that no sane person would fall for it...Cristian Bale could be up to his best, but the narrowness of his character limits down his performance. The purpose of half naked Adams (with worst English accent that I've heard for years) through the most of the movie still puzzles me..and Jeniffer Lawrence is just mediocre copy of Sharon Stone in Casino. Definitely not worth of the awards that it took on Golden globes and definitely not worth of two hours of yours time...
