A work of tremendous confidence and dazzling showmanship that may just be a delirious movie-as-drug-high or may, if you choose to read it this way, contain a level of commentary about the nature of America and the illusioneering of Hollywood.

American Hustle is the best time I’ve had at the movies all year, a movie so perfectly executed, such wall-to-wall fun, so filled with the joy of expert filmmaking on every level I can’t imagine anyone who loves movies not loving THIS movie.

American Hustle là phim tội phạm – hài kịch đầy phong cách, nổi bật nhờ diễn xuất xuất sắc và bối cảnh thập niên 1970 sống động.

Anyone who's seen "Silver linings playbook" will know it's a David O. Russel movie right away. Everything about this movie was super-great!! The amazing ensemble cast (except for Bradley Cooper) was the best I've seen in my life! I wish Russel would've made more movies.

Reveling in its ’70s milieu and in the eternal abrasion of sexy women and covetous men, 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.

The warmth that courses through American Hustle makes it irresistible, with Russell’s affection for his characters and his sharp-eyed evocation of their recessionary times, honoring their struggle, however dishonest, rather than denigrating it.

Like everyone else in Russell's cast, Lawrence appears to be having a blast in the role. It's downright contagious.

There’s plenty of fun to be had, but in the long term, American Hustle may be remembered more for its superficial pleasures than the depth of its impact. Kind of like the 1970s.

American Hustle is a movie that was built backward, or inside out: It puts actors’ needs before the audience’s. There’s no heart under those polyester lapels, and what all that Aqua Net is pasting together is a few sparse strands of wispy story.

I don't understand the critical acclaim of this movie, it seems like a cheap attempt to imitate the scorsese movies, Amy Adams is amazing here, all her scenes are spectacular.

No es una mala película, pero su sobrevaloramiento es lo que más se destaca,creo que con otro reparto hubiese sido mejor y con una critica no comprada por parte de la compañía.
