The con is on when scam artists and lovers Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) and Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) are entrapped by ambitious FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper) and coerced into participating in a major sting operation which hinges on snaring politician Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner) and his associates. Complicating matters is Irving's wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence), who could bring the whole operation crashing down around them all. From the director of Silver Linings Playbook and The Fighter, AMERICAN HUSTLE is outrageously entertaining and one of the most acclaimed films of the year.

Critics Consensus: Riotously funny and impeccably cast, American Hustle compensates for its flaws with unbridled energy and some of David O. Russell's most irrepressibly vibrant direction.

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

“American Hustle” is more of a showcase of great actors than it is great storytelling, but it still keeps you glued to the screen as you watch them do their work.

Russell manages to make these characters at once despicable and loveable, complicated and weighty, none of them irredeemable, each of them incurably watchable.

It's unconventional in its uneasy structure, but the rewards for sticking with it are plentiful.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

All of that is well and good, but the movie goes almost nowhere in trying to be either a comedy or a crime saga.

Depending on who you speak to, this film is either ruthlessly entertaining, or heinously stupid, and given David O'Russell's reputation, I'm personally inclined to say the latter.
