American Hustle: A Brilliant Film of Love and Law

American Hustle is a crime comedy-drama film, loosely based on the FBI ABSCAM operation in the 70s and 80s. . Released on December 13 2013, it is directed by David O Russell with screenplay by Eric Warren Singer and Russell. The film stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Copper, Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner. It is delightful for any full time writer to write a review on this film.

Irving and Prosser have been arrested in a loan scam, but Richie DiMaso a crazy FBI agent proposes to free them if Irving assists him with four additional arrests. It is a fictional film where Irving Rosenfield (Christian Bale) and Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced by DiMaso (Bradley Copper) to throw themselves into a world of jersey mafia. It is an enchanting but dangerous world. DiMaso wants to set up a sting operation to ensnare corrupt politicians, including the Mayor of New Jersey Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner). Both Rosenfeild and Prosser pose as advisors to a fake Sheikh in order to bribe him. Polito is charming and charismatic and is trying to restart gambling in Atlanta City but struggles to raise money. It is also a love story of Irving and Prosser who met at a party, got attracted to each other and fell in love. The only unsavory detail in this love story? That Irving is married to Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence).

DiMaso’s over eagerness to catch Polito makes the latter suspicious and he leaves. But Irving convinces him about the legitimacy of the Sheikh and arranges for a meeting between them. With Polito convinced that the Sheikh is genuine, the former arranges a meeting between Sheikh and a violent mafia overlord Victor Tellegio who demands a $10 million to prove the Sheikh’s identity. On the other side Richie gets attracted to Sydney who tries to back out of the deal. With Carmine’s help Richie succeeds in entrapping a number of Congress members into receiving bribes. But in the end, Richie’s whimsicality convinces Irving to join hands with Polito and tell him the truth. Carmine abuses and assaults Irving and tells the latter that he had only tried to improve New Jersey. In the end a disgraced Richie is removed from the case. Irving and Sydney move in together to start a legitimate art gallery.

In the film, David O Russell has shown a fondness for living on the edge. There is unreliable narration and urgent zooms, extravagantly dressed scammers and mobsters. He has succeeded in bringing out the best from every character with their own quirks and foibles. Unfortunately, the end result is a tad messy and a little long, but you will be positively content with the film and enjoy hanging out with all of the well etched characters.

The Dark Knight Rises – The Preview You’ve Been Waiting For!

The Dark Knight Rises is probably the biggest action film this year is going to see. Like the previous two in the series, this movie also has a serious and grave undertone, paving the way for a serious action-packed extravaganza. The Dark Knight Rises will be creating new goals for forthcoming movies in the superhero genre.

The director of The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan has done an excellent job in assembling a fitting finale and recalls most of the villains that featured in the previous two editions. The director has successfully toyed with the ideas of terrorism and the collapse of the economy of the nation and beautifully merged them in the movie.

The main villain in the movie is Bane, well played by Tom Hardy. Bane is a French revolutionary from the 18th century who dreams to unite the people against the police and the capitalists. He believes that these men of power have been suppressing the masses for a long time.

The movie starts where The Dark Knight, ended. Gotham city is still trying to recover from the shock of the alleged “murder” of Harvey Dent by Batman. This results in the arrest of many criminals in Gotham. However, there is no trace of Batman. Bearded Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) portrays a sorry picture, as he roams around with the help of a stick, still suffering from the injuries suffered at the hands of Ras Al Ghul, Scarecrow and Joker (first 2 parts). It seems that he has finally decided to hang up the Batman suit forever.

He is, however, forced to change his decision with the entry of Bane (Tom Hardy). Bane is a mercenary and wears a mask that provides him with pain-killing drugs. Batman makes a mistake and leads Bane to the “clean-energy device” at Wayne Enterprises. Bane transforms to a nuclear gadget and blows up all the tunnels and bridges in the city, converting Gotham City into a prison.

This is when Cat (Anne Hathaway) appears. Like Wayne, she has a past. She was a super con-woman who has the distinction of having conned Bruce Wayne. Bruce is so inspired with her skills that he offers her the Catwoman suit, which she gladly accepts. And when Bane threatens Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) and a cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) along with a mystery woman (Marion Cotillard), Cat woman joins forces with the Batman to bring down Bane.

The greatest moment in the movie is probably when Batman and Bane face-off against each other. Tom Hardy brings Bane to life with his larger-than-life persona and hushed voice. Christian Bale has brought out the inner demons of the Batman perfectly, surpassing even the last two movies. The Dark Knight truly “rises” and all the credit goes to Christian Bale.

There are a few weak links in the movie. However, this seems to be the trend for all superhero flicks and can be ignored. Whether the Dark Knight Rises will be the greatest superhero action movie made till date remains to be seen, but it is possible with its larger than life characters, extraordinary graphics, sensational action sequences, brilliant acting and above all, almost-seems-like-real Gotham City. Regardless, this movie is a must-watch for all Batman fans.
