American Hustle - So yeah... we just got back from seeing this movie and well, it kind of sucked. It sucked that it is easily the best movie of 2013!!! My god this movie was freaking awesome and put The Wolf of Wall Street to shame and did it in two hours instead of three. The cast of the movie was fantastic. Christian Bale was nothing short of pure excellence, but Jennifer Lawrence is easily the best character in the movie. Every bit of dialog she had was brilliant and she easily stole the show. The comment she makes in th movie about being the life of a the party rings true in every scene she is in. Jeremy Renner finally decides to show off that he does know how to act, something I haven't seen since he did "The Hurt Locker." There is another actor that shows up that was great in his little cameo, but I'm not going to ruin it, so you either have to spoil it for yourself or go see it to know who I am talking about. The movie moves at such a swift pace that it is over when it needed to be without dragging on Not to mention the movie actually has a payoff for the character's actions at the end, which was amazingly well done. Danny Elfman does a fine score for the movie as well, and it was surprising that it was him because this movie seems out of his element. Nevertheless, he did a fantastic job as well. In fact, there is nothing bad I can say about this movie outside of the first ten minutes, which started out a little rough. The dialog is witty and fun, the story holds a sense of seriousness over it while being comedic when it needs to be, that there is nothing I have seen at all in 2013 that can compete against it. As amazing as I found "The Hobbit" to be, this movie is just superior in what it wanted to be and achieves it with exuberant finesse. This is definitely a must see, especially because where us do you get to see Batman, Lois Lane, Rocket Raccoon, Hawkeye, and Mystique all working together at one time? :-p Overall, I'm giving this thing an excellent Chuck Norris/10.
