This movie is one of my favorites and I would say the best of 2013 (yes better than 12 Years A Slave, Wolf of Wall Street and Gravity). This movie has everything. Plot: I've read some of these reviews and they all say "no plot". That is untrue, I do not understand the argument. The story stars off in the future with a business transaction happening. Then it explains everything, how Irving and Sydney started their conning, get caught, and then forced to start catching and arresting con-artists. The characters get tangled up with the mafia and go on an entertaining roller-coaster the whole film.Cast: What a stunning cast. Stunning. Christian Bale gives is best performance since The Fighter and plays such a great character. Amy Adams is great as his partner. Cooper is also good as the detective, Richie Dimaso. Jennifer Lawrence gives her best performance which should have won her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, which Lupita N'yongo won for. Jeremy Renner as the mayor is great, too. The cast is amazing and even the small roles are acted nicely.This is David O. Russell's best movie. The writing is great and the directing is amazing. This movie was funny, entertaining, sometimes suspenseful and just fun.

Where to start....? Rambling script, waaaay too much dialogue, annoying characters. It's like someone thought ' let's make a film with loads of stars in flash 70's outfits, hype it up loads and see what happens'. Well the result is a total mess of a movie with sparks here and there of what it could have been, but wasn't. I rated it it two stars after falling asleep twice. Now I'm thinking that was generous

Critics think this film is brilliant. However, it has many faults. It's too long, confusing and complicated. It's supposed to be a comedy - but isn't funny at all.The only character who's in the slightest bit interesting is the histrionic who's played by Jennifer Lawrence.
