Whoever said the leading ladies were sexy needs glasses -- what a moron!
Excellent movie! The leading ladies are incredibly sexy and worth seeing again.
Great acting. Bad movie. Plus I never did hear how the "ice fishing" story ended!
A good movie weakened by uninteresting and unattractive female leads. Wait for the video.
Jennifer ruined what could have been a great film. :(
what a rip, they had De Niro, and they chose to use Bale doing a cheap De Niro imprssion, instead of just letting De Niro do the part. Jennifer was the one shinning spot ( excellent caracter acting )
Excellent movie superb acting by everyone. Anyone who complains about Jennifer Lawrence or Amy Adams and there acting are just jealous of their great looks and incredible talent.
Top notch all the way!! Amazing performances by every member of the cast...no laggards here... and nifty story-line based on the real ABSCAM scam. Blows the vastly over-rated movies like Gravity out of the water! Mixture of crime drama and comedy/black comedy will satisfy all those with a craving to see a great movie.
If you have rated this movie less than a 3, you need to stick to slapstick comedy that requires no thinking. Amazing cast, wonderful dialogue.
Very long and boring in some parts. Jennifer Lawrence sucked in here. needed a shorter film time for the weak story line.
Too long and quite boring! Storyline is very weak. Very foul language. Poor costume design, especially for Amy Adams. Well acted, especially by Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper - both actors sported unique hairstyles! At best a rental (if there's nothing else!) - otherwise stay home, save your $11, and wash your hair. The theatre was empty before the credits finished - that says it all. PS No laughs - a few weak smirks though.
Too much sex too much bad language and both the ladies looked sleezy when they have too much talent to bother with that to get attention.
This could have been a really fun movie if it hadn't been for Amy Adams - too bad she was in so much of it. Why would the director put a wet noodle in low-cut clothing and expect them to perform? Sad. 3 stars because the rest of the cast was great!
Zero stars; Jennifer Lawrence ruins every movie she's in.
Amy Adams ruined this for me.
I wouldn't even give this film one Star. I actually walked out after about an hour of suffering through this terrible low budget piece of ********* I was completely shocked at how bad it was. I love Amy Adams, I can't believe she did this movie. Just plain bad in every way. I wish I had read a review like this before going and wasting my money and time.
Very entertaining!
Terrible show.....waste of my time.
Amazing dialogue. Phenomenal casting. Will see it again.
Wow. What a dysfunction-fest! I did enjoy I though, although I went to this film with some apprehension as I did not care for Silver Linings Playbook (same director). It is well-done with great performances from Bale and Lawrence. I did think Amy Adams was poorly cast however and could not carry the outfits she was wearing.
Who's the genius who decided to put the two most annoying actresses on the planet together in the same movie...? Surprised they didn't complete the trifecta by throwing Emma Watson into this distasteful brew as well! Bale is good, however, and his performance keeps this from being a total bust.
Would have been better if the actresses weren't so annoying.
Great acting by all of the cast and great soundtrack for those of us who lived the 70's. But the story -- not so great. I'm giving it a 3 for the acting and soundtrack..... wait for this one on Net Flix.
For all the Comments about the Story Being Weak. Yeah it wasn't a story that was made up. The Movie is based on real events.. Google it...Great Movie it is a must See
What a Great Cast and Great Story and What Really Counts a Great Overall Movie. This Movie does nothing but deliver entertainment, all the hype and praise about this movie is well deserved and will Kill at the Oscars in 2014 for sure...You Have to See this Movie...
Great acting!
not great where is the storyline...I was glad I had a free movie rate only 3 is that disappointing in every way
Great movie! a little long but fantastic acting by the whole cast!
I thought the acting was superb with very poor story to sink their teeth into.
I can't believe people here are giving this movie 1 star? This was a good movie! Excellent performances by the whole cast! Great fun!
Worst movie ever! Lucky it was cheap Tuesday!
It's great until Lawrence shows up; from there, it's all downhill and a very slow slog.
Jennifer Lawrence's irritating mugging prevents this from being 5-star fabulous.
Christian Bale's comb over is worth the ticket!! Jennifer Lawrence is outstanding. Good crazy fun!
FABULOUS MOVIE!! Perhaps the best this year!
On the plus side, the acting is very good, particularly Christian Bale. But the title says it all - as the movie finished, I felt I had been hustled. For all its cleverness, its a lot of form without much substance. Decent movie as a time waster.
Too long and kind of slow.
Excellent...one of the best we have seen this year. Great story, great acting and overall great entertainment. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that we felt the story was stretched a little too long. Otherwise...a must see movie.
I thought this movie was awfull........we walked out after 60 minutes.....I would say the worst movie I have seen in the last 10 years !!!
Absolutely loved it...Sound track great. Acting extremely good, but considering who was in the movie I would have expected nothing less. I believe Academy Awards contender
