    American Hustle

    Just watched this. Lots of yelling throughout, and very long. None of the characters were likable...Christain Bale's character invoked sympathy from me because he had to deal with two women. Can someone explain to me what happened at the end? My attention started to drift...did Bale work out some deal with DeNiro's character? Did Bale get the $2M and then give it back to the FBI in exchange for immunity and a lesser sentence for the mayor?

      Acting was great, story sucked.

      So, metaphorically speaking, our physiology basically has the universe mapped out and you're thinking it needs to be taught addition & subtraction.

          Does it really matter? The plot was horrid. Reminds me of the 2nd and 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean films. Just random happenings and a lot of double crossing that leads nowhere.

          VSN's general disdain for the film can be observed in this thread:

              It seemed convoluted.
              I <3 Jennifer Lawrence but whats with her playing nothing but crazy chicks* ?....its so fuckin hot but I keep confusing her roles. Im pretty sure the girl from American Hustle didnt age and also happened to the female character years later in Silver Linings playbook.

              S.L.PB chick = crazy
              A. Hustle chick = crazy
              Mystique = crazy
              Hunger Flame dress wearing chick = Crazy
              Best reason to have a license.

                  Bale was outstanding as was Cooper.

                      It seems like Jennifer Lawrence has fast-forwarded to the "Jack Nicholsen" part of her career, where she can win awards by making cameos and not trying.

                      A sign of true greatness. Come to mama.
