My favorite director to hate

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2014)

I went to see American Hustle and expected a lot. With that cast, who wouldn't? Especially with Bale, as I cannot recall one single bad movie he ever did. Well... now I do! This movie is terrible. The script is meaningless: These guys ain't con artists. They are small time crooks. The story is based on a con by those con-artists, but you just cannot buy it. No cons are shown, nothing to impress us.
And the acting... they are all just yelling. Just like a really bad Almodovar movie. After seen 50minutes of the movie, with all the yelling, stupid acting by great actors, actors that also played in the equally terrible 'Silver Linings Playbook' (Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro) I connected the dots. It was Mr. David O. Russell that did the directing!! I did not know that before going to see the movie. After 'Silver Linings' I must have erased this director from my personal universe, a mistake I will never make again.
This movie is a great example of huge marketing and a bad bad movie, that will even go to the Oscars, just cause people are so idiotic to think they actually liked it, cause it was promoted so much. Silver Linings Playbook did not belong to the Oscars... did not belong to the theaters either. Neither does this movie.
Avoid at all costs!!! Don't watch it even for free, cause your 2 lost hours cannot be paid off. Don't buy every shitty movie they are trying to sell you.
