Don't get conned by the hype, but worth it for some good female performances

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2014)

Really went in with high hopes, but the first ten minutes I could sense the next 2 hours would be hard to keep me involved. If not for the female leads Amy Adams is incredibly sexy and JLaw gets a bit overworked but has the most entertaining scene doing a cover of Live & Let Die.
Need some more bad stuff like some drug use , some bad girls, just lacked corruption. Was really quite boring this film and wanted more. Was happy when it was over, one day will watch again and my opinion may change. But don't get conned by the hype with this film.
Some really cool hairdo's and fashion give this some credibility enjoyed the hair rollers in Bradley Coopers Fro. He is becoming a big talent and not just handsome face.
Bale has some moments but the best is the opening scene
