One of the funniest and smartly written movies I've seen in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2014)

American hustle is just purely entertaining. Something that a lot of movies struggle with now. It's well written, very well acted, laugh out loud hilarious and you'll just have a good time whilst watching it. American Hustle's tone is very similar to Martin Scorsese movies. It's very real and sometimes is over the top but it finds the right balance between the two. The performances are fantastic all around. Christian Bale is great as the good hearted but troubled con man. Amy Adams ( who in my opinion delivers the best performance of the movie) is great as Bale's associate. Bradley Cooper is good as the naive Fbi agent. Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence are also very good and I would've liked to have seen them get more screen time. Even Louis C:k is great as Bradley Cooper's cynical FBI supervisor. Overall American Hustle is a great movie with lots of quotable lines and memorable scenes. It's a movie you won't want to miss and you'll remember it for a long time.
