Christian Bale gives the performance of his life in American Hustle. Bale plays a con man Irving Rosenfeld, along with his seductive British partner, Sydney Prosser (played by Amy Adams who also gives a good performance), is forced to work for a wild FBI agent, Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia.
The movie is loosely based on a true story. Director David O. Russell has a way of making every scene in this movie worth watching. He is able to take all these "A" actors and bring them into this story without baggage from their other roles and make a great film. Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence is incredible to watch as Bale's wife. Both her and Bale deserve to be nominated for Oscars. But Bale owns this movie, he is great and you will be rooting for him.
Verdict:
One of the Best Pictures of the Year. You will want to see it again.
