American Hustle
Stream
Rent & Buy
A conman and his seductive partner are forced to work for a wild FBI agent, who pushes them into a world of Jersey power-brokers and the Mafia.
What critics thought
American Hustle landed as one of the most celebrated films of 2013, with critics singling out the ensemble cast — particularly Jennifer Lawrence and Christian Bale — and David O. Russell's kinetic direction. The main fault line was whether the film's improvisational, freewheeling energy adds up to something coherent or simply overwhelms its already tangled Abscam story.
“For all its brashness and big personality, American Hustle is a character study at its core—an exploration of dissatisfaction and drive, and the lengths to which we're willing to go for that elusive thing known as a better life.”
Christy Lemire·RogerEbert.com
“American Hustle is an urban eruption of flat-out fun—the sharpest, most exhilarating comedy in years. Anyone who says otherwise must be conning you.”

“a sloppy sprawl of a movie”
