'American Hustle' is Director David O. Russell's follow up to last year's Oscar winning film 'Silver Lining's Playbook'. 'American Hustle' stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Renner.
This film is the story of two small time con-artists (Bale and Adams) who get caught up with an over zealous FBI Agent (Cooper). While the FBI agent tries to catch these con-artists, he also attempts to con and entrap US Senators and the Mafia.
If this plot sounds convoluted, that's because it is. Sitting through this film is like driving down a random road without a map. Despite good acting, the film doesn't know what to do or where to go. David O. Russell and Eric Singer's script was nearly non existent. I wanted to love this film but in the end, it's just great actors acting without much of a plot and that doesn't make for a strong film.
Don't waste your time or money with 'American Hustle'.

I had a great time with this, even though I think that's because of the performances, more than the actual movie itself. Good review George.
