American Hustle

Writer and director David O. Russell continues his winning streak with another terrific comedy. A con man and his seductive girlfriend are forced by an FBI agent to entrap a politician with ties to mafia which heightens the stakes for all involved. Russell and co-writer Eric Singer took the real Abscam scandal and turned it into a hilarious comedy that pokes fun at the era with a stellar cast and crew that nailed the look and sound of the 70's. Christian Bale leads the terrific cast that includes Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence, Louis C.K., Robert DeNiro and many others with outstanding performances. 1001 Films' coverage of current releases.
