Dana B An entertainingly audacious movie that will doubtless be compared to The Wolf of Wall Street because of the similarity in tone and themes, but this time around David O. Russell has almost out-Scorsese'd Scorsese. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Stephen C The best of Amy Adams in 2 hours and 18 minutes!!!!!!! Rated R for Pervasive Language, Brief Violence and Some Sexual Content. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review andrea c David O. Russell incornicia un altro perfetto esempio di film da ottimi incassi al botteghino soprattutto grazie all'immensa mole di attori fenomenali che danno vita a dialoghi e personaggi, facendogli prendere forma e modellandoli a loro piacimento. Di fatto la sceneggiatura si compone di elementi essenziali e di qualche imprevisto spiazzante ma non diventa quasi mai protagonista all'interno del film. che invece si concentra totalmente sui suoi personaggi e sulle loro personalità. Proprio i personaggi sono forse tutti complessivamente troppo particolari, estroversi e con peculiarità eccessive, dall'attenzione alle acconciature ai comportamenti schizzofrenici che lasciano lo spettatore alla disperata ricerca di un briciolo di normalità, di qualcuno in grado di comportarsi in maniera sana e razionale. Questo distoglie parzialmente l'attenzione dalla trama, rendendo lo spettatore lontano dall'immedisimarsi completamente; pur restando affascinato dalle grandissime performance attoriali. Note di merito per l'ennesimo incredibile cambiamento fisico di Christian Bale e per la clamorosa sensualità di Amy Adams che pure in alcune scene è capace di trasformarsi completamente per sembrare vulnerabile all'età e alla gelosia. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Mate P ***SPOILERS*** American Hustle is one of those movies which are just an absolute joy to watch. The characters are well-written and pretty layered. Rosalyn Rosenfeld is probably hated by everyone, but what she does was sometimes really funny to me, that made her a little bit more complex in my eyes. The most complex character is probably Mayor Carmine Polito. It always changed whether I wanted him to get away or not. I think he was trying to do the right thing for the city, but the way he was doing it would eventually have destroyed it. I don't know the real life history behind the film's story, so I love how none of the characters are pure evil or good. My favourite character was Irving Rosenfeld, that's probably because he is the point-of-view character and I love Christian Bale. The story is also well-crafted, while the dialogues are mostly natural. The directing and the cinematography are great, while the editing is outstanding. I loved how they messed with the two timelines, it helped the story to be more engaging. The best part of the film is the cast. I couldn't stop listing them. I think Christian Bale is slowly becoming one of my top 3 actors, while I also love everybody else in the main cast. The Robert De Niro and Shea Whigham cameos were unexpected and they elevated their scenes. The acting performances are spectacular. American Hustle is my type of film and I think it's near perfect.

Were it not true-ish, you couldn’t believe it. Cooper gets the very best scenes, but all are good. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
