I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A perfidious President performs all the depraved acts he accuses others of playing and lying about both his and others?AH is a spurious beacon lighting methods of confidence men/women. It reminded me of House of Games where the misdirection and subterfuge lull the viewer into complacency to accept and trust 'honest' characters(on no evidence) while the obverse is gyring away. Think Penn and Teller with a smirk not a twinkle. AH causes me to examine the current political intrigue: are we witnessing assassination of the Republic, the consummation of the Russian promise to bury us? or a heist movie? All 3! American Hustle delineates a lie based on corrupt practices, all with very human faces, and is superb. Also, it should have won the Oscar for costumes- nailed the 70's clothing hiding the intrinsic ethos of the '70's in plain sight.

This movie is not bad at all to watch. David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook is one of my favorite movies of all time and this was another amazing movie directed by O. Russell. The whole cast including Christian Bale, Amy Adams Jennifer Lawrence, and Bradley Cooper are one of Hollywoods best entertainers this generation. Their performances were perfect. The whole entire movie to me was very thought-provoking and was well directed, well edited, and well written. This is one of the best Crime movies of the 2010's so far.

Critics think this film is brilliant. However, it has many faults. It's too long, confusing and complicated. It's supposed to be a comedy - but isn't funny at all.The only character who's in the slightest bit interesting is the histrionic who's played by Jennifer Lawrence.

Great movie mainly because the atmosphere of seventies,the big cars,old fashion clothes,discotheque anyway everything is back to seventies.but my big surprise is the performance of Christian Bale that overcame yourself. Definitely your best character for your entirely career...that wasn't good enough until now, Another highlight is the soundtrack backing old success by many bands Where my favorite is Electric Light Orchestra by Jeff Lynne. The Women is beauty and sex,,,,Amy Adams stolen all attention to her!! Two hours long living in fantastic decade called Seventies!!!
