Amy Adams and Christian Bale are funny to watch!

Rating: 2/10 (4 January 2014)

I very much looked forward to this movie, especially after having watched "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Argo", which seem to have started a trend. "American Hustle" starts really strong, with Amy Adams and Christian Bale making great choices, but then into one third or the movie, I lost interest in the plot. Overall, the sets and costumes are great and most of the Actors work well together. The pacing feels alright. I generally like the look and the feel of the "Hustle", including the title font. Compared to the hustling "The Manhattan Dating Project", this movie adds a bit more entertainment, since it does not only covers hustling and getting digits, but has a heist as well. In comparison, both movies cover the Zeitgeist pretty well.
