It took two great 21st Century actresses to perfectly rock 70’s get up.
Academy Award Winner David O’Russell is back in the director’s chair in front of his “best-of” cast including Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper in a con movie which was hyped beyond belief in late 2013/early 2014.
While many found the buzz exaggerated the quality of this movie, and in a way I did too, I can’t think of much that is wrong with this movie.
Perhaps some of the jokes are not as strong as they could be, but this looks and feels like an almost divine mixture between some of the time’s best writing and acting and the atmosphere of an old Scorsese movie.
Check it out and make up your own mind.
