Cast: Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams
Time: 138 minutes
Irving Rosenfeld and Sydney Prosser are lovers working together as
con artists. They get caught by FBI agent Richie DiMaso, who forces them to line
up for him a series of cons involving corrupt politicians to save themselves
from the law.
This film was inspired by the FBI Abscam of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Sure, the story can be a little convoluted at times, but the style brought forward by the director on screen and the work of the cast made this a very enjoyable movie. Special mention to Christian Bale. His transformation was quite something to witness. I was hooked from the moment it started until the final credits. The music also brought a compelling atmosphere to the whole deal. Overall, a very good film.
