Quiffs, combovers, jheri curls… there’s a lot
of wild hairstyles going on in American
Hustle, a David O. Russell ‘70s crime dramedy that’s big on style, if a
little scant on substance. Nevertheless, it’s a film teeming with some of the
most exciting actors working in Hollywood today: Jennifer Lawrence is reliably
brilliant as a ditzy blonde, Amy Adams seesaws between accents and is just a
breeze away from a wardrobe malfunction, while Jeremy Renner proves there’s
more to him than just starring in forgettable action man roles. Top of the
bunch is Christian Bale, going full method as a balding, overweight conman constantly trying to outsmart Bradley Cooper’s bonkers FBI agent.
4/5
