I have seen this film 3 times and I still don't fully understand the plot...

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2020)

If ask me to piece together the plot from point A to point B I don't think I could do it. I am still not entirely sure when and if characters are being sincere. I am not convinced that the entire film isn't just a giant cheat. None of this matters through because this is a film of moments; of scenes and atmosphere onto itself. It is a film where each sequence is given the proper time to breath and it is delightful to being involved with being conned. It goes without saying that it is a very funny film.
Obviously the acting is the best part of the film. Each of the principles, include Renner, gives transfigured performance. Bale is at his slimy and most invisible best. Cooper needs to do more comedy; he is a great jerk in this. Lawrence continues to be the most interesting person when she is on screen. And Adams is utterly unrecognizable. This is a film that patches up some of the weaknesses in the writing by cast the right performers all working at the top of their game. I almost want a sequel just because the characters stand apart from the film itself.
Now don't get me wrong. The film's over look and feel are great. The 70's have been done a lot but Russell and his team manage to find a really cool slice of the decade that is obliviously 70's but is still different. Who the hell calls a microwave a science oven?
This film above all is just fun.
