A Phenomenal Masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2014)

There's no doubt why the movie got nominated for 10 academy awards. Everything in the movie whether its the impeccable cast, the storyline, character development and the occasional humor, everything is just mesmerizing and crafty. David O. Russell keeps on surprising us with his variety by experimenting with different genres, but the real turn on is that how easily he takes a paradigm shift from drama to thriller setting a SCORCESE-TYPE Ambiance in this masterpiece of a movie.
Apart from the director, the movie belonged to the one and only Christian Bale who has garnered another Oscar nomination for yet again a David O. Russell project. What can I say, Russell keeps on trusting this man and he keeps on delivering . But the real USP of the movie is the unpredictable and satirical Jennifer Lawrence (portraying Bale's wife in the movie) who is just a phenomena in her every scene outdoing herself once again. In and all, American Hustle is a complete package with a spellbinding story and some great acting. Go for it if you prefer watching quality films over the span of your precious two hours.
