Frankly, the movie itself does not live up to its hype. I never was fully engaged with any character even though it takes more than enough time and delivers a tedious and often painstaking pace. Honestly, it felt to me like the film dragged and that the ending would never arrive. Even though not fully engaged and not empathetic towards any character depicted, there is enough style that I somehow cared about how the story ended. Every scene seemed to me like an exercise in an acting class. It feels like a professor took a group of talented actors and gave them this over-the-top 1970's assignment. Everyone gets an “A” because they are that good but it barely felt like a coherent film to me. It's like their assignment included constant references to try and deliver a “Goodfellas” type tone without having a script to back it up.The events of the conclusion were so easy to spot that I'm sure most everyone will see it coming a mile away. Overall, interesting but there is far less substance than I was expecting.

Anyone thinking American Hustle is brilliant in any way has to have some form of brain damage. Seriously.

Is the father-daughter file okay? The acting is also very exaggerated, but this kind of

    The sense of rhythm is quite smooth, and coupled with a golden age song, it may be bluffing for a while; but Scorsese is not so easy to learn, this film is full of people from beginning to end, it is a complete cutscene. Play: neat but lacking in new ideas.
