Yawn

Rating: 2/10 (16 January 2014)

Okay, so I watched the first 15 minutes of American Hustle optimistically thinking it was going to take off, it did not. I gave it another 20 minutes of my time and still nothing. It would not have made a difference if they threw in Brad Pitt, or Tom Cruise in the nude. Dull and flat-lined right from the opening scene, and why Christian Bale had to gain upwards of 30lbs for his role is a joke, he could have been fitted with a prosthetic belly under his shirt. What a waste of great actors in this movie. I am guessing I made my point and that is don't be hustled into watching this deadbeat of a movie. The only positive thing I could say is that it primed me for a good night sleep.
