Never Hustle a Hustler!!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2014)

I really enjoyed the premise of this movie; two con artists are forced to work with the FBI to take down a corrupt Mayor. It takes place in the late 70's. This movie seemed to capture the 1970's pretty well. It had a great look and the women (Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence) were beautiful. In my opinion, this movie should've won Best Picture.
Christian Bale stars as a balding con-artist named Irving Rosenfeld who meets and falls in love with Sydney Prosser, posing as English aristocrat "Lady Edith Greensly" Sydney helps Irving with his scams. When they are caught and captured by FBI agent Richie DiMaso, they are given a choice; either go to jail or help him with 4 additional arrests. They soon get mixed up with the Mafia and many schemes where Irving is forced to involve his wife. I would definitely consider watching this movie again someday. I highly recommend American HUSTLE!!!
