Another true story and
great movie up for a number of awards this year. I have to start by
saying that I really liked this movie but in comparison to Wolf, It didnt quite
reach the level that I was hoping for. Christian Bale was excellent as
always, Amy Adams was hot, and Jennifer Lawrence (someone that I dont really
like) was amazing. I was actually more interested in Jeremy Renners
character than anyone else and his part was relatively small. Good story
about a group of scam artists who are forced to work with the FBI, only to pull
some twists of their own. I would recommend seeing this movie, if for
anything the cleaning "dance scene" that Lawrence pulls off. Cool
movie but probably not one I would buy.
(FYI-Christian Bale achieved the physical traits of his character by
gaining over 40 pounds, getting a comb-over and slouching his posture and ended
up herniating two of his disks in the process. He was apparently
unrecognizable to DeNiro)
***1/2
