People believe what they want to believe

Before watching AH I came to IMDb to read some reviews. I usually trust the reviewers in here, however, I was a bit disappointed this time. The amount of hate towards this film in IMDb is absolutely fascinating and beyond belief. Now I will try to convince you that AH was actually pretty good.
It goes without saying that the acting was amazing. Every actor shone in their own way, and Bale and JLaw are worth mentioning. Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper were good too. This is not an action film. This is not like Ocean's Eleven. It is in fact a Crime Drama. You should expect a lot of chemistry amongst the characters and a plot with a few unexpected twists at the end. This film is about improvised dialogues, love, lust, wigs and costumes. There is some comedy thrown in the bag, too, like the scene with JLaw dancing and singing along to Live and Let Die. So, sit down and enjoy the ride, as Richi diMassio (Cooper) takes Irving Rosenfield (Bale) and Sydney (Adams) into the dangerous world of mafia and corruption, and watch their world spiral like r=theta in the Argand diagram.
