American Hustle

After the grand success of Silver Linings Playbook, David Russell is back with American Hustle… it already bagged 10 Oscar Nominations this year like Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best actor & actress in a supporting roles and so on. Christian Bale is simply fantastic. He is hardly recognisable with baldness and beer-belly, Bradly Cooper is simply an eye-candy…Amy Adams is stunning…showed lot of skin.. guys do check her out. Jenifer Lawrence did full justice to her role. But im disappointed. It is inspired by some FBI scam of 70s… but to me it is simply inspired by Bunty & Bubbly. Yes the story is about a fraud businessman Irving(Bale) married to an highly unpredictable, annoying woman (Jenifer) who is nothing but a bag of make-up. They have a son. He wants to get rid of her but she threatens him with dire consequences. In a pool party he meets Sydney (Adams) and they fall in love. Together they strike the resonance in business i.e. cheating. In such an operation they are arrested by an FBI agent(Cooper)… Cooper wants their help to frame some hot-shot politicians including the Mayor. In the next course of action Bale comes really close to the Mayor and surprisingly finds him a very good man with a heart of gold. In the mean time a steamy relationship starts to grow between Cooper and Adams. Now Bale has to save not only his dear friend the Mayor but also his lady love. Amy Adams already won the Golden Globe for the best actress in musical & comedy. Jenifer Lawrence won the same for best supporting actress in Drama/Musical & Comedy. But somehow I fail to like the film its like old wine in a new bottle.
