Good but not amazing

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 2014)

American hustle did not live up to the expectation that was originally put to me. The film starts off very slowly and for the first 45 minutes you are fed a long story before the real action of the main hustle begins. The film could of really caught the attention of the audience but it just didn't do that.
Despite the bad start the American Hustle really did get exciting once he big hustle began. It was clever how everyone was hustling each other under what was suppose to be one main hustle. The film is brilliantly cast and each character feels necessary. I loved the quick wit in the film which separated the seriousness of the whole film aside. American Hustle could of been a solid 8 but the build up to the main hustle drags.
