American Hustle

wow....

I'm a huge Christian Bale fan, I seriously consider him as maybe THE best (working) actor in Hollywood. And he was the main reason I wanted to see this movie, but for some reason it took me a long time to watch this movie. I was not expecting that much, but I still had some expectations. I was

expecting a fun movie with alot of great preformances... I expected to much.... This movie really bored me, and annoyed the living cr*p out of me. Christian Bale did not disappoint, but his performance did not save this snore fest. Almost all of the characters were really annoying especially Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Laurence. These are som of THE most overrated actors at the moment. I still have not been impressed by eather of these actors, their OK at the best... The movie is directed by David O. Russel who also directed "The Fighter" which is a good movie. So I do not understand why he failed so f*cking hard with American Hustle.

My biggest issue with American Hustle is that it's soooo boring and long, and it really wanted to be a Martin Scorsese movie. The editing sucked, the soundtrack had some good songs, but it didn't fit the style of the movie.... In my personal opinion the best part of the movie was the short Robert De Niro cameo. De Niro's character felt scary and was compelling, so it really sucked that he played such a minor part...

This movie was all over the place, and I could not stop comparing it with Scorsese's Casino or Wolf of Wall Street because of the movie's style and narration. I shouldn't have compared it with either of the other movies, because they are sooo much more compelling and interesting. There are some decent performances (especially Christian Bale) I thought Amy Adams and Louis C.K. were good. The movie really annoyed me, and I do not recommend annybody to watch it. There are so many other movies from the same year that you should rather watch.. Just spare yourself from this mess of a movie...

I rate this movie 4.5/10
