Plots(1)
David O. Russell, opens this modern day classic with the line "some of this actually happened"... and what follows is an unbelievably over-the-top tale of desire, deceit, cons, corruption, excess and sexual tension - all set in the big-haired, provocatively dressed 70's. Hailed by critics, American Hustle pits a superb ensemble cast against each other for the ultimate high stakes racket... Christian Bale is the scheming yet loveable con artist with a comb-over. Jennifer Lawrence is his shrewd, vindictive wife with a killer putdown. Bradley Cooper is the slick, ambitious and fast-talking FBI agent. Amy Adams is the whip-smart former stripper with a plunging neckline. Jeremy Renner is the corrupt mayor with mob connections. This is scandalous and smoking hot American mythology delivered with a sucker punch, powered by an electrifying soundtrack and loaded with stunning performances. Are you ready for the hustle of your life? (Roadshow Entertainment)
