American Hustle

☆☆☆☆1/2
+
"American Hustle" (considered by some a drama and others a comedy) tells the story of Christian Bale and Amy Adams, two con artists who help FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper) pull off a hustle that keeps them out of jail.

Jennifer Lawrence stars as Bale's wife...who may just unknowingly ruin the whole plan.

Adams and Lawrence give great performances. Possible Oscars nods?
_
The caper gets a little confusing.

It's important for a film to accurately represent the time period, but "American..." overdid it.
Too much attention to clothes, hairstyles, home decor, cars, music...

Rated R
2 hr. 9 min.
