Directed By: David O. Russell
Written By: Eric Warren Singer and David O. Russell
Starring: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner
Running Time: 138 minutes
Premise: Two con artists are forced by an FBI agent to set up an elaborate sting operation on corrupt politicians, including the mayor of Camden, New Jersey.
Why You Should See It: This was my favorite movie of 2013. It may have not been the best movie, but it is definitely the most entertaining. A lot of critics said that the performances of the actors elevated the average plot but I disagree. I think American Hustle has an interesting story, but the execution of the narrative is exceptional because of the actors. For director David O. Russell to release this movie just a year after Silver Linings Playbook is truly impressive.
