Very Good Movie

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2014)

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams show their acting talent and hit it right out of the park in this movie. The twists and turns keep coming as the plot gets stronger and stronger and the movie rolls to its conclusion. The characters are pretty memorable the comedy still works well and the movie is put together as well as any I have seen. Would you believe Christian Bale (or Batman) plays a middle aged crook, who is balding and hiding his ball spot.
I really got a feel for being back in the Spring of 1978 when I watched this movie. Even though it was not in the movie, I could almost hear Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty playing when I watched this. The styles and the music put me right into those days past. I actually recall this week pretty well because the Women at my College (LaSalle College - Now LaSalle University in Philadelphia) held a somewhat publicized event that wound up on the Local TV News on April 25, 1978, the day before this movie begins.
