Thugs with a cause

Rating: 8/10 (21 April 2014)

It was a time ago, you saw something intelligent about swindlers. Or about the late 70s, including the right costume. Or with somebody like Christian Bale, who through every second is genuine, including being fat, having fake hair, having heart problems and watching everything with true irony.
He and his companion Amy Adams are on the wrong side of the law, but not very evil. It all goes smooth, until they encounter two problems. The FBI and the Mob.
Charming, entertaining and without sickening violence. Also a dialog which takes for granted that the audience is reasonably intelligent. Quite nice.
