It should have been called American Melodrama

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2013)

A lot of people are talking about the movie American Hustle being one of the top ten movies of 2013. The trailers would lead you to believe that this movie is some grand heist, something like an Oceans 11 and a Goodfellas combined. Do not be fooled.
American Hustle was a long drawn out movie about people who like to claim to be monogamous, but who are in fact all morally corrupt. That's the heart of the movie. The whole sub-story about catching some corrupt congressmen, that plays such a minor role. It's a movie about shitty people.
Maybe they have a great advertising campaign, but be assured that this movie is definitely NOT a classic. The movie had so much potential. It was just such a disappointment.
