Filled with great characters placed in a fun, tense story

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2015)

This was a refreshing movie for me. The most recent movies I've seen have ranged from "meh" to "awful". I'm glad to say this was actually a really awesome movie. The film has a magnificent ensemble cast that was brilliantly directed by David O. Russell. Every character, no matter whose side they were on, was memorable and a blast to watch. From Christian Bale and Amy Adams as con artists, to Jennifer Lawrence as a delusional, overly dramatic, clueless wife, and to Bradley Cooper as a FBI agent seeking fame and glory. All of them were awesome characters. Thankfully they were placed in really good plot line. Watching these people scam politicians and gangsters is fun, tense, and exciting. I'm really happy to say this film exceeded my expectations and I say go see it.
