American Hustle

Rating: 9

When you go into a movie expecting to love it, you're usually disappointed. What is the opposite of disappointment? Satisfied doesn't cover it. Love love LOVED this movie.  Every actor is so amazingly good.  The screenplay, good. David O. Russell  keeps getting better every time. The first David O. Russell movie I saw was called Spanking the Monkey. Bad.  Then he did a shitty movie called Flirting With Disaster.  But THEN Three Kings happened. And then some other stuff, and then The Fighter, and then Silver Linings Playbook which wasn't as good as The Fighter but still pretty good, and then THIS. I hope he stays on this trajectory.
