"American Hustle" is a film filled with fantastic performances, wrapped within a tepid and directionless story. In the end, the title is extremely fitting because I felt like I had the wool pulled over my eyes. The film starts off interesting enough with Christian Bale's Irving Rosenfeld orchestrating one of the most elaborate comb-overs known to man. The care and meticulousness he puts into the procedure is completely fitting to the character because he runs his cons the same way. After this spectacle, the film pretty much peaks, and the only thing that keeps viewers entertained are the performances themselves.
