American Hustle - Movie Review by Chris Stuckmann

[@gundamnmechas8518]

You really feel for Jeremy Renner's character in this movie; i mean, damn man...

[@greed13X]

Large parts of the film were actually improvised by the actors and not from the script. Loved the movie though.

[@blackoperation14]

My favorite part of this movie was Louis C.K.

"The following is a true story based on a whole lot of bullshit." SO GOOD.

[@anubiisdoesthiis]

Great script, great acting and great music. This movie was full of energy and I liked it.

[@sharvarisurve5173]

All of a sudden I decided to binge Chris' reviews because I had nothing to do. And I know a lot of people didn't like this movie but I agree with Chris this movie was so good. The acting the script, the score. And like Chris said it was always ON. I never was bored, I just loved it. Christian Bale did such a great job so did Amy Adams. But Jennifer Lawrence, man she just blew me away with this.

[@andresomerville2305]

I haven't watched American hustle, but my college has it in the library and after your glowing recommendation, I might check it out.

[@captainhowlerwilson508]

I don’t get her performance. It’s her most overrated in her entire career.

[@captainhowlerwilson508]

The script was a mess also.

[@shrapnel77]

Fuck Jennifer Lawrence. Overrated hack.

The soundtrack and script made this movie for me. I enjoyed every scene in this movie. Great review

[@redhotchilifan98]

i saw this last week I really loved it bale was fantastic as well as the rest of the cast

[@artsyafroqueen]

I'll need to watch it again since I've only seen it once but I was left feeling unsatisfied after watching it. I dunno, maybe because it was soooo hyped up with the large cast and all the big stuff happening that I let it suck me in and I was expecting more than what I received. So, it's due for a rewatch.

[@mooganify]

***** I hated it

[@notabot835]

***** I agree. Felt like discount Scorsese

[@FreakieFan]

+mooganify i hated it aswel

[@annnee6818]

I didn't like it either. I recognise it's probably what one would call a good movie, but enjoy it I didn't...

[@DarinMichaelGrant]

Give it another watch. It was critically acclaimed (90s on RT w/ an average rating of 8.3/10 and a 90 on MC) for a good reason. Jennifer Lawrence gives a fantastic and totally unhinged, crazy performance (in the best way) and it honestly might be her best role/acting, sans Winter's Bone and/or mother!. The film is also David O. Russell's greatest work, for sure. Flirting with Disaster and Silver Linings Playbook are both really good (4 out of 5 stars) and Three Kings and The Fighter are great (4 1/2 out of 5 stars), but this is a brilliant, near-masterpiece. 4 3/4 stars or A.

[@inceptionreport2869]

The more I think about this movie the more I love it

[@RominaJones]

What a great review. You were very eloquent and insightful. I haven't seen it yet but you've convinced me.

[@josevonbuergenwader2]

SPOILERS (i guess, how the hell would i know?) well, as i was watching this movie earlier tonight i was thinking the same thing the entire time and when the credits started rolling it was confirmed: "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" I understood that bale and adams were con artists and cooper was fbi trying to blackmail them into... doing something. but that's it. what that something was i will never know. there was a shiek who wasn't real. there was a mayor who they were trying to catch doing... something with bribes? and for some reason the mafia shows up and their role in this was...something bad maybe? oh and bale and adams were lovers in one scene and wanted nothing to do with each other in another scene for seemingly no reason because they spent most of the movie apart. then they were magically together again at the end and they somehow did something that screwed the fbi? i don't understand the technical business stuff. WHAT WAS THE CON? WHO WAS THE CON ON BY WHOM? AND WHO WAS CONNING THE CON AND WHY? no movie in the last several years has made me feel this stupid and ashamed. thankfully there was much humor in the movie that didn't depend on my understanding of the unexplained and complicated plot of the cons or i would have been truly pissed. i felt like i belonged in a college course for idiots and not in a movie theater. i enjoyed the performances and the plot seemed almost understandable but just enough to infuriate me at how much i didn't get it.

[@myfilms999]

that's exactly what a con is, they needed someone to pretend to be the sheikh. They were trying to bring down politicians. Amy adams character began to (fake) fall for Bradley Cooper. And they ended up conning Cooper's character.

[@starabo22]

Basically Bradley cooper's character the FBI agent caught Amy adams and Christian bale and black mailed them into helping him get politicians taking bribes on video.

[@brucegooding716]

Jesus, were you not paying attention?? I had no problem following the plot, and I'm not going to explain it all to you, except to say the movie did explain why Bale and Adams' characters weren't together for most of the movie, You must have went to the bathroom during the scene that explained it. Watch the movie again.

[@owiseone1]

Just saw it. LOVED IT! What I love about David O Russell is that he gives us great stories that are as much about the plot as they are about the characters. Usually movies fall short in one of those two categories but Russell always gives us both. An amazing collection of performances by the ensemble cast but personally I felt Bradley Cooper was the weakest link and his character was a little too all over the place. Bale and Lawrence were my favorites. So glad to see an A+ on this one. Keep up the great work and remember, don't put metal in the science oven!

[@captainhowlerwilson508]

I didn't think it was great. It had some really stupid pointless plot lines and I couldn't at all get invested in most of these characters with the exception of Bale, Renner and Adams.

[@limo4935]

I am torn on this movie... I feel the same about this movie the same way I do about Titanic. Everything from the acting to the cinematography to the script and even the music felt right but for some reason I didn't enjoy it. I mean technically it was all there, but for some reason it felt "off" to me and I was even bored sometimes. I don't know, maybe it's just not for me. I just personally feel that The Wolf of Wall street was just as well made and was more entertaining throughout.

[@limo4935]

It's almost like it tried to replicate the craziness of Silver Linings Playbook but elevated it to another level which took me out of the movie. I think it's because the elevated level made me see the actors as just that despite the fact that their performances were pretty damn good. It just sucks that the script couldn't pull off the same level of craziness as The Wolf of Wall Street did and left me at the end feeling like it could have been better. I watched it again yesterday and I have to say, I liked it even less this time. The feel of the movie makes you bored very quickly which no good film should make you feel that way. I mean how entertaining is Jennifer Lawrence shaking her head meant to be?

[@limo4935]

Oh I enjoy Silver Linings Playbook which I personally feel is his best film. Bradley Cooper nails it as does Robert De Niro (I was happy to see him in a great film for a change). Oh Wolf of Wall Street is controversial, scummy and dirty but it is honestly one of the best films to be released in a while and possibly one of the funniest films I have ever seen. One scene in particular stands out in the minds of every viewer of that movie and I will not spoil it for you xD In fact set me an inbox or something when your back from seeing it

[@limo4935]

Well actually most people I talk to remember one thing mainly All I'm gonna say is Hmmm Hmmm...Hmmmm Hmmm

[@limo4935]

I think you have just spoken exactly what the academy thinks xD But I think my personal love for this movie stems from the fact I had to endure I,Frankenstein, Paranormal Activity The Marked Ones and Hercules all over a weekend so I needed one damn movie to not have me recoiling in pain.

[@limo4935]

I think that if they choose American Hustle, this will be a year our grandchildren will look back at on Wikipedia and think "American Hustle won that year?" while pulling an absurd face as they look at their blu-rays of Gravity, The Wolf of Wall Street and 12 Years a Slave xD

[@MrFlexvilla]

I loved this film and it has some great characters, especially Christian Bale.

[@til_thasmokeclearz853]

[@giffordc19]

I saw this on Monday, on of my favorite movies in a long time. I reviewed it and gave it 5 out of 5. Great review Chris!

[@JJensen9]

Nice Review Chris. I will be checking this out soon for sure now.

[@KuroxXxMurata]

Great review Chris, now I know what to see when I finish my finals. Just to ask... will we be seeing a trailer review for Godzilla sometime soon?

[@alightthatnevergoesout]

Man, I watched this movie having no idea it was a comedy. WTF.

[@RedSandPalm]

I agree with just about everything you said in this movie. You definitely have to be awake to watch this, everything needs attention in this movie= loved it

[@franciscopardo9423]

As soon as Chris mentioned the script I remembered Bale saying that a lot of parts of the movie was improvised, makes me think about the capacity the actors have to make the story funny and interesting by improvising.

[@frenchiesironies]

It was only released last week in France but I was soooo excited to see it, I went to the theater as soon as I could and oh my... Now that I'm re-watching your review, it is totally what I think ! Soundtrack, the fast that it is always 'on' as you say, OMG. It was awesome, and I don't think it is overrated at all contrary to some reviews I've had from other people. It such a wonderful mix between drama and comedy. I loved it and I think it could become one of my favourite movies of the past few years.

[@gabeplg]

Just saw it. Definitely a great movie. Couple of things that bothered me here and there, but overall I had a blast. That scene with De Niro got interrupted by the most stupid cliche imaginable tough. That pissed me off.

[@wharmon8]

thank god you gave this an A+. I've been pumped for this movie for a while and then when I saw the schmoes give it solid but not great scores, I was gonna get a little disappointed. Great review, stuck.

[@redhotchilifan98]

I thought kristians reason for 3.7 was pretty stupid

[@karlzone2]

"Great review, stuck." For agreeing with you?

[@wharmon8]

karlzone2 i was just kind of saying great review because it was actually a great review. He didn't even agree with me either because I, too, was pretty disappointed with this movie after actually seeing it.

[@karlzone2]

wharmon8 Hm I misread then, sorry

[@brianbriody3420]

hey Chris love your reviews however this movie to me was OK the plot was slow but the characters were amazing so I thought it was just alright but what I do like about your film channel is you talk about more underrated/indie films that are good examples enemy under the skin love your channel keep up the good work

[@gallolocoparisien]

I love how David O. Russell is constantly improving himself and trying to diversify while keeping the same style and core values to his movies. He's becoming little by little one of my favorite director. Plus I just love how his last movie have a 70's Scorcese feel :)

[@Locadel2003]

I always forgot De Niro and billy from Jurassic park 3 are in this movie

[@MichaelBalchaitis]

I love this movie so much. Definitely an A+. Thank the gods that people still make good movies.

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

It had good production value and acting but it was bland and convoluted honestly. I wouldn't call it terrible but extremely forgettable. it's the definition of a film that I never have the urge to watch more than once.

[@franciscopardo9423]

I totally agree with Chris, the soundtrack was great, performances were amazing and the humor was great. The plot was confusing for me but after thinking about it I understood everything

[@christopherlai364]

Great acting, interesting premise, some great comedic moments, but... seemed poorly paced in my opinion. And I feel the ending seemed to betray the themes present in the rest of the film, perhaps? But, great, fun to watch review as always Chris!

[@DocLurid]

Great review. I saw a trailer for this and didn't know what to make of it. Good to know that it's a solid film instead of a mess of big names. Also, can you review Inside Llewyn Davis? I don't know if you're a fan of the Coens but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

[@LictordeThrax]

Great individual perfomances, but once the movie ended I realized that I was thoroughly underwhelmed by the film as a whole. Strange.

[@kennyfloyd2621]

I actually just saw this movie. I thought the acting was great, the soundtrack was "music to my ears" and each line of dialogue, as you said, felt so well thought out. There wasn't a second where I was bored. I found Richie to be unpredictable. Thank you for the review. I am certainly going to buy it instead of rent it now. This is a great movie!

[@jlovebirch]

Terrific movie that sometimes goes a bit overboard into comedy at the expense of realism. Cooper is a bit too off-the-rails manic to be an FBI agent, and the scenes with his boss, though hilarious, are not plausible. Still, loved the film overall. Amy Adams was so good she's now on the level of, say, Nicole Kidman.

[@BatsyWayne]

Josef Hautala Have you seen Eyes Wide Shut ? Amy can't top that performance... But yeah, she's one of the best actresses out there.

[@kingeeceelox6163]

no one is better then Nicole Kidman D: but it was a very good movie

[@NarutoTheYellowLight]

Christain Bale stole the movie for him. really a good actor now plus the superman girl is getting better.

[@isaacruthen9313]

In a way Chris, you kind of nailed how I feel about David O. Russell. I think he's an arrogant person, and for me it shows through in his movies. I really liked Silver Linings Playbook, but I thought The Fighter was pretty overrated. I haven't seen this movie yet, but just knowing the story and David O. Russell, I don't think I'm going to love it. He just comes across, both in person and through his movies, like a guy who thinks he is making the most amazing films to ever grace the screen. He does make good movies, won't deny that, but I don't know. They just aren't my style. Glad you liked it though, and I'll still give it a chance when it comes out in theaters around me. It's gotta be at least good if you gave it an A+. Good review though! Hey, in your opinion is Christian Bale better in this or Out of the Furnace?

[@isaacruthen9313]

***** First off, crack isn't my drug of choice. It's heroin. Just kidding. But I never said I knew him, nor do I think I'm really "taking it out on him" either. I've watched multiple interviews with him, and like I said he COMES OFF (not saying I know him, just relating my impression) as being arrogant. And I did say he makes good movies, they just aren't really my style. Don't feel like I attacked him at all

[@RosseeBoy19]

David o Russel has become on of my favourite directors in recent years such a brilliant writer and director this film is not out here until January but I really can not wait too see it

[@Sorvol]

You just convinced me to see it dude. I was interested, but I was unsure about it. I was waiting for your review on because they're very spot on.

[@wcsstudios1]

Can't say I agree here. After rewatches to see if there's just something I missed, I found the movie to be just a shade above mediocre because of the really good performances by Amy Adams and Christian Bale with some nice supporting work by Jeremy Renner and Robert De Niro in his lone scene. Bradley Cooper was fine, but was relatively uninteresting to me for a lot of the film with the only time he made me even smirk being any time he was doing something with Louis C.K. As for Jennifer Lawrence, I flat-out thought she was awful. Shrill beyond belief with an accent laid on so thick there was no way she could keep it consistent (and she doesn't), it just felt to me like she was trying to one-up Sharon Stone in Casino by trying to devour the scenery every chance she got and she's not experienced enough to know how to pull off going that big. The direction by David O. Russell was hyperkinetic to the point of near-incomprehensibility as he jumps around through all these different plots and subplots that in the end barely leave much of an impression and just seem like they're trying to showcase how wacky these characters are and how beautiful the women are that he keeps zooming or tracking in on. From what I know, much of the dialogue was improvised and it really shows with a lot of scenes feeling like they're going all over the damn place without much rhyme or reason as they ultimately lead to little that advances the story in any way or provides much insight into these characters. It's big, loud, flashy, and aesthetically pleasing, but it's O. Russell biting off way more than he can chew without knowing when to tone things down in his bid to make a Scorsese-esque tale of true story crime. Hell, Scorsese would show how it's done just a few weeks later with The Wolf of Wall Street.

[@fluff975]

I really don't know why this movie is so hated by people. Maybe because the scam it is trying to depict is sophisticated and a bit confusing so impatient viewers just found it boring? I am not sure. This is an exuberant, wonderful movie. Wish I could hear more people that have good things to say about it, but its their opinion. I respect that.

[@mael18]

Didn't plan on seeing this in a theater but you just convinced me. The Hobbit, Anchorman, The Wolf of Wall Street and American Hustle. I love Christmas time

[@jakeooo2344564]

Just saw the film last night and I cant understand why the film is getting near perfect ratings. The acting was good but I just kept dozing off or losing interest in the film at certain points. Apart from the slapstick moments it wasn't making me keel on the floor with laughter. The plot wasn't exactly riveting either. Imho the film is probably a B minus because of the fact that the actors played their parts well and a long boring plot brings it down. If there weren't so many hollywood stars in this film I don't think this film would have got as much praise as it has garnered. In no way is this a terrible movie btw, just doesn't live up tp its insane amount of hype.

[@MoeFoeJo]

I thought it was boring halfway in I turned off the blu Ray player and I love the classics so don't know what happened with American Hustle it just didn't hook me.

I thought this movie sucked. The plot was all over the place and I just did not find it entertaining at all. I don't understand all the praise movie critics are throwing at it. Then again, I rarely agree with critics on many movies, so it doesn't surprise me much.

[@brittanyisaketten]

well with what you said it made no sense , so the plot supposedly being all over the place is wrong what you mean to say is that the plot was confusing .

[@karlzone2]

JACOB KENSINGTON No, that might also mean that the director did a terrible, terrible job at getting his intended plot told.

[@brittanyisaketten]

This is the first time I disagree with Chris on an A+. Don't get me wrong, it was good but I think Chris is overselling this movie a lot.

[@stevenrodriguez9371]

Lmao no one gonna take your seriously with that profile pic

[@BatsyWayne]

The script was magnificant, the actors were top notch, loved the music. But de movie was boring... And that's because David O. Russel pays more attention to the characters than to the plot. And it worked really well with both The Fighter and Silver Linings, but here it makes the movie tedious. Yeah, like I said the script and dialogue are very very well written, but the movie overall wasn't like the spectacular music it has in it.. It was kinda boring...

I did not like the movie it was to slow for me. did anybody else feel the same way or is it just me ?

[@alejandroberrios4756]

I didn't necessarily feel it was slow, but I did feel it was convoluted and failed to keep my interest for significant portions of time. I really tried to get into it too but it just didn't work for me as a whole,certain parts I liked and other times I just wasn't invested in the characters or the particular subplot that was being focused on, but even in those moments that I wasn't interested it wasn't that the movie felt slow, more so that I didn't care for any characters and felt the plot was a bit messy. Saw it with my girlfriend though and she couldn't have been any more bored/disinterested so some people definitely thought it was slow like you did

I can't even compare the two...just in some ways.

American hustle was a crave for an oscar... it wanted to be as profound, but this story didnt came from david o russel's heart, but from his crave for another win... Im sorry but this was a b-... though the acting was solid.

Question: maybe it was my lack of familiarity with the events this is based on or just means this movie is worth rewatching, but at any point did you feel that the movie was a bit too jumbled in its storytelling? At times I felt like there is this fantastic movie here and if the camera and focus of the story would just hold still and help us understand a bit more of what was going on, it might be more enjoyable and we can experience the relationships between the characters more fully.

Review the Godzilla trailer please!

Amy Adams was so annoying in this which wore a since I usually love her. She didn't deserve the Osacr nom,it should have been Brie Larson in Short Term 12 or Rooney Mara in Side-Effects. Jennifer Lawrence was hammy. Cooper and Bale were okay but nothing special. Bale's nomination should've gone to Jude Law in Side-Effects instead.

I actually didn't get this movie. I was expecting to really like it but it just felt a little flat to me. Its saving grace was the good performances, especially Jennifer Lawrence!

great movie with very impressive cast made of mystique, rocket raccoon, hawkeye, lois lane and batman. i love chris bale one of the best actors right now, who is always in character and very devoted to every role he is playing. he is my favorite actor and the best batman and amy adams never looked sexier. bradley cooper has to become flash, dc should take notes and they should catch him right away. cant wait to see the movie.
