A Film that Brings Back Class To The Big Screen!

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2014)

Finally!! A classy picture for those tired of watching up-to-date modern garbage. This movie is for those wanting a classic feel of a movie that actually contains human emotion. I enjoyed this film so much, I've already seen it seven times, and counting because I plan to watch it again very soon. This movie made me feel as if I were thrown back into the old days.
The Cons: Okay so the only thing that bothered me about the film were some of the bribery scenes, they seemed very forced, very awkward to watch, just a little thing in the beginning of the film when he moves the case towards Carmine (Jeremy Renner), other than that there was really nothing wrong with it at all.
The pros:
The script is beyond engaging and entertaining making the characters all the more intriguing to watch, the colors are very beautiful, the cinematic value even better. The person who made this movie truly respects what movies used to be and meant, it really does tell a story. No matter how lost you feel in this movie when you first watch, there will always be something you missed when you watch it again. It is witty, and again, I say this again because it is the truth, it is a classy film, it doesn't make you feel like you just watched recycled material from the oldies, it is a movie all its own, creative and original.
The characters, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence starring in another movie is FILM GOLD! You cannot go wrong with a film starring either of these, especially Jennifer Lawrence, who is an important presence in films at the moment. Christian Bale plays a con artist who tricks the desperate into falling towards pointless loans with an outrageous advance price of $5000. "I give 5, you give 50, right?" He gets caught up in a scheme plotted by another desperate FBI agent (the film revolves around the desperate, because they are easy to be tricked, (you give them all the power, they become yours to mold) hence the ending, where the con artists con the very man who hired them to take down big names in politics. The stories in between and the drama are just to add to the atmosphere of the seventies, which is incredibly written and beautifully executed. This film is very poetic, (the story of survival is one that never dies) and if you are an avid lover of film, you will not pass this movie up, because I guarantee there will be something you loved about it.
