Gratz, you successfully raised my hatred toward everyone of the characters

Rating: 2/10 (25 January 2014)

I 'hustled' in to see this movie few weeks ago and expected it to be a great enjoyment, and i came out of the theater with literally depression(yes, depression) and disappointment. what did i see? i saw a unique interpretation or political wash white of a scandal involve bunch of a**holes (almost everyone in the movie). i went movie for pleasure but disgusted and felt depressed coming out of the theater. i have to say that the acting of the movie is really good that it literally made me hate those characters - selfish, stupid and unconventional. honestly speaking, the movie is not bad but not good enough to earn any praise - acting is good, scripts are dry but reasonable enough. story is supposedly interesting with comedy involvement, however, i didn't catch any of those elements - what surprised me was that the commercials are advertising it as a COMEDY, wow, i cannot see any association to COMEDY. maybe it is just too real to be a comedy - it didn't bring me any pleasure but depression - if all a**holes like these characters in the movie get out of this situation no harmed, well, go you united states.
the movie reminds me of two movies - 'pain and gain' and 'the great Gatsby'. both 'pain and gain' and 'American hustle' are supposed to be crime comedies yet none of them are funny and disgusted me. 'the great Gatsby' derived from novel with similar elements upscale life and crime, but execution and scripts in my opinion far out-compete American hustle.
allover, maybe it should have receive a 5 or 6 for its acting and others performance, but i will only give it 2 for it disgusted me so much.
