Oh Dear it really is a hustle

Rating: 4/10 (6 January 2014)

For a number of years we have had a great UK TV series on the BBC called "The Hustle " with good acting and great humorous story lines. I was expecting something similar with American Hustle but what I did get was OK acting and a very poor story line with little humour some of it unintentional. I was really looking forward to this film but sadly it was not to be. Was I expecting too much ? Probably. But I did love the disco dancing sequence although a hip disco in 1978 would not be playing a 1977 release with so many great new tracks being issued weekly! And the costumes really were exaggerated and made the characters look like buffoons at times. Watchable but wait till release on DVD or download .
