Dir: David O. Russel, USA, 2013, 120mins, Cert:18, Language English.
Staring: Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence.
The story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Cooper) who pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that's as dangerous as it is enchanting. Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving's unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Like David O. Russell's previous films, American Hustle defies genre, hinging on raw emotion, and life and death stakes.
