OK, back to the topic, what makes this movie stand out is its precise expression and elaboration of all aspects of American society in the last century, and the brilliant performances of various actors. But because everyone is a big name with his own masterpiece and strong actor brand. When people watch this movie, there is a wonderful feeling of watching the fusion of Hangover, Hunger Games, and Avengers from time to time. The only complete breakthrough is the bold "out" performance of the image-subverting Big Brother Batman. The excellent performances of various big names have given this film with a fragmented storytelling an impetus to watch it.
Spoiler alert: This movie is basically a 10-minute story. A pair of liar lovers play a game in order to get rid of the entanglement between their unwilling wife and the FBI detective. In the end, they spend all their money for their friends and win custody of their son. The story itself is a good story that can produce surprises. Unfortunately, the screenwriter has too much ambition and added too many miscellaneous elements, which weakens the main line and leaves the audience confused. The character introductions in the first half of the movie were too rambling. Like an old lady telling a story, the characters monologue one by one and let me see half of them. I can't wait to scratch the head of the director to see if he dares to speak more slowly. In the end, the story finally started, and the audience was exhausted. The best example is that when the fact that the male protagonist is married is revealed, his reaction is Austria, why the characters haven't been introduced yet. After the development of the plot, too many elements were added to the film, which made people dizzy.
As a hoax fan who has been following the British drama Hustle for many years, I can only say that this American hustle has disappointed me. In my opinion, this movie has obvious traces of borrowing from British dramas. Whether it is the final deception exposure (the so-called lawyer turned out to be an old acquaintance at the party) or the ending that people know that they have been deceived but cannot be proved. The movie overestimated the memory of the audience, and the main line has been biased in an unknown direction many times. The structure of the story is not well set up, the narrative form is fragmented, and the whole movie relies on a few drama bones to support the development of the plot. It turned a good one-hour plot into a two-hour crappy movie. I am a screenwriter for this kind of film that is not rigorous in logic and rhythm. You should hone and hone it before you come out and mix.
