American Hustle

So much fuss for this movie, just because there's a lot of famous actors, but it was actually boring in my opinion. I didn't like it. Lots and lots of screaming all the time, bad words every so often, lots of characters and none of them very nice... Irving (Christian Bale) is a con man married to Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence), a beautiful but very silly woman he can barely stand any more, but he loves her son, that he has adopted, and doesn't want to leave him. He falls in love with Sidney (Amy Adams), his soul mate, and they start stealing together, through elaborate tricks. Agent Richie (Bradley Cooper) catches them, but that's not enough for him. He aims high, and forces them to help him arrest many others in exchange for their freedom. They start with mayor Carmine (Jeremy Renner) who actually seems to be a nice enough person, for being a politician. He actually seems to care about his city, as incredible as it may sound, but they trick him anyway. Irving convinces him that the only way to help the city is to find the money necessary. They even contact big mafia boss Tellagio (Robert De Niro), and Richie is over the moon. Only problem is, not knowing about anything, Rosalyn talks to one of Tellagio's men, reveiling the federals are involved. Now Irving has only one way to save his life. He has to save Tellagio and all his men. He blackmails the police: immunity for him and Sidney, and a small sentence for Carmine, that he actually likes. A few politicians were arrested along with Carmine. Rosalyn asks for a divorce, and Irving lives happily with Sidney and his son. Is it over, please? Oh, good. I thought the shouting was never going to end...
So, how was it? Happy ending? Yeah. Right. Irving and Sidney who had no problem with stealing money from desperate people are totally free. The mafia has not been touched, not even a bit. Of course, it never is, that's believable, at least.
Is this why they needed to many big names? To attract people that otherwise would have never watched it? Jennifer Lawrence has lots of fans, so bring her in with all her viewers ! Bradley Cooper is beautiful, nothing can be said about that, but I can't stand the man. I saw him once on a show and can't stand him since them. They tried their best to make Christian Bale ugly, and they should be happy with the result. Amy Adams... was okay, she wasn't the problem, she was sexy when she had to be, she played her role well. Still, I had read that this story was one of the best screenplays... maybe I read wrong, I can't believe it. Strange thing at the end, I didn't see DeNiro's name anywhere, not even in the cast list. Tellagio's actor's name was not listed. Why?
