someone hustled the movie..

Rating: 5/10 (11 January 2014)

How to waste good performances with a bad script and an uninspired directing.
The cast is good in this one. Really good. But they cannot save this film from being aimless, pointless, meaningless, bra-less. Two whole long hours without any interest, except maybe all the cleavage. Too much cleavage. I was kid in the 70s, but I don't remember women not to wear their bra all the time.
Oh and the cinematography... who had the brilliant idea to film it with an "instagram" filter? The hairdos, the costumes weren't enough to portray the era? we needed the "old photography from the 70's" filter? So annoying.
In conclusion, no spark,no rhythm, no tension, no highlights just the cast and the efforts of the editor to give us the "Good Fellas of Hustling", but good editing alone can't help bad directing and storytelling.
Another hyped movie that will collect nominations and probably awards for being just above average. Doh..
