I really liked American Hustle.

It was a bit odd, but the character interactions were priceless.

Louie Ck and Bradley Coopers character interactions always got a laugh.

All the characters were utterly pathetic, all of them just scum.

Jennifer Lawrences repulsive character, and Christian Bales, just as equally repulsive, had some great interactions.

What I found funny about this movie, was the only truly noble character, was the Over the top stereotypical Jersey Guido politician, played by Jeremy Renner, also a great job by him.

I don't see this movie getting academy accolades, it is not mainstream enough, in the sense of hollywood cookie cutter plots, But I really liked it,.

Without spoiling it, you know a plot twist is going to come, but you see it falling apart as the movie progresses, totally deteriorates, then it comes back around when you least expected it. Brilliantly done.

The above is IMHO, I liked Taken 2, and hated Olympus has Fallen. So my tastes can be odd.
