How is it that BIM missed a thread on this? :confused:


From IMDB: "A con man and his partner forced to work for a wild FBI agent and pushed into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia."








Looks interesting. The trailers give it a kind of Good Fellas-esque feel.

One of the best underplayed Zep songs. Love it.

Really solid flick. David O'Russel's in a groove with his movies right now. Creates and develops great characters with pretty good stories. Everyone's at the top of their game, but once again, Jennifer Lawrence steals the show (in a limited role...probably only about 20 minutes of screen time). I could watch her read the phone book at this point.

I want to see this. But God Jennifer Lawrence is FUGLY! Thank goodness she only has 20 minutes. She reminds me of Barbara Streisand whom Ive heard numerous times over the years how she's so gorgeous or Princess Diana….. YACK!

I really want to see this. Outside of how cool the movie looks, it has two extremely scrumptious hotties in it.

You are insane.

Yea sorry guys but she just isn't a pretty woman. Has nothing to do with body type either stout. She has pictures where she looks decent but clearly all done up and airbrushed. I posted a range of pics none of which are even remotely flattering.

American Hustle

Release Date: December 13, 2013 (limited; wide: Dec. 19)
Studio: Columbia Pictures (Sony)
Director: David O. Russell
Screenwriter: Eric Warren Singer, David O. Russell
Genre: Drama
MPAA Rating: R (for pervasive language, some sexual content and brief violence)
Website: AmericanHustle-movie.com | Facebook | Twitter

Starring: Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence

Plot Summary: A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock our nation, "American Hustle" tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that's as dangerous as it is enchanting. Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving's unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Like David O. Russell's previous films, "American Hustle" defies genre, hinging on raw emotion, and life and death stakes.

I'm not sold on this one still. The actors don't seem to fit the 70's style except maybe Bale. Their physique is to modern for that era compared to a movie like Boogie Nights.

The Zep song in the trailer is great, but the most underplayed song, imo, is Boogie with Stu.

As for Lawrence, meh.. She's ok, but her photo sessions seem to be hit or miss.

Good movie. VERY SLOW however. Had to catch myself from head bobbing a couple of times. The acting throughout was VERY good. Although unlike Cheesy I thought Amy Adams was the ****!

This is a movie I would have been just has happy seeing at home rather than on a big screen.

Was kinda boring.. Felt like a rip off of Goodfellas and Donny Brasco.. And I'm not sure why everyone likes the Hunger game chick. With her chipmunk chubby cheeks..

Overall I give it a 4 outta 10

Pretty good show. Acting was great, but the story itself was a bit iffy.

Enjoyed it.

Interesting, kinda fun movie (although it did feel kind of "ripoffish.")

Certainly not worthy of its Best Picture nomination, IMHO.

It was good but not great. It has some great performances. Look, I love Jennifer Lawrence and think she will be one of the greats of all time IMO when her career is said and done but.....she felt to young for this part for me.
