A pair of con artists is forced by federal agents to help catch bigger fish using the same skills that brought them trouble.
American Hustle is an entertaining and intelligent film without becoming too complicated to maintain the audience's interest. With multiple layers of deceptions and appearances and varied and interesting characters, the film keeps you curious and intrigued up until the last moment.
It has a typical atmosphere of the 70's, very well maintained by the characters' attire and attitude and a specific and wonderfully chosen soundtrack. The film includes a subtle and convincing love story, even if it is not the main focus. The actors give wonderful performances, with a subtle Christian Bale and explosive Jennifer Lawrence at the front.
