Meh.

Rating: 4/10 (26 March 2014)

American Hustle is not a good film, it's not a bad film, it's just meh. It's got two or three really good scenes spread out in a two hour film while the rest is so dull and uninteresting that it feels like a three and a half hour film. For a supposed Crime-Drama, it tries at many points to be comedic, while still trying to be dramatic, ambitious, but the result is that it fails at being both. The acting is at least good, but the god-awful fake accents the cast has makes this feel like some sort of attempted satire that has no punchline. If you are looking for a seedy Crime films to sink into ala Goodfellas, try out Scorsese's own Wolf of Wall Street or even Pain & Gain before you bother with this, would earn a 5/10 for being so average, but with all of the talent on hand it loses a point for wasted potential.
