NYRangers92 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 AKA your 2013 Best Picture haha. Based on the Abscam sting operation in the 1970s. Starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner, Michael Pena, Louis CK, Robert De Niro and more. American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that’s as dangerous as it is enchanting. Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving’s unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 People are saying this is the best movie of the year. I guess I'll have to see it. So much shit coming out in the next two weeks though. I'll be broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Scags Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Can't fucking wait, this thing looks brilliant. Bale looks like he put on weight for the part. What a fuckin actor! Now Abscam, was this sort of the same thing that is mentioned in Donnie Brasco when Donnie gets all the mobsters on the boat in Florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 On the level with his other movies? That wasn't the criteria. IMO, it was a good movie, he was never in a bad one, yet, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Abscam, was this sort of the same thing that is mentioned in Donnie Brasco when Donnie gets all the mobsters on the boat in Florida? Yes, that is exactly what this is.

Dave Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Saw he was in Shaft, but don't remember him in it, but that would probably be his worst movie. Now, if you're talking movies he's the lead in, then I can't think of any bad ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Who said that? It's got the crappiest reviews of any movie he's been in lately, outside of Terminator. I don't know. We're talking about him being not being in "bad" movies. That's highly, highly subjective. He's a great actor for sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
