“American Hustle” is probably the worst film of 2013, with a confusing plot, bad acting, and glorification of drug use and criminal activities. Despite all of these problems, the Columbia Pictures release garnered ten Oscar nominations (zero wins) and was successful at the box office.
There were reports in the press that much of the dialogue was improvised, which accounts for the over-acting and frenzied and uneven pace of this movie. Stars include Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner, Louis C. K., Jack Huston, Michael Pena, Elizabeth Rohm, and Robert De Niro in an uncredited cameo.
Don’t be hustled into watching “American Hustle” from sloppy director David O. Russell (“I Heart Huckabees” 2004), who co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Warren Singer.
