I really can’t tell you how much I can’t wait to see American Hustle. In fact, there are several films coming up I can’t wait to see including Her and The Wolf of Wall Street as 2013 has been a crazy, back-loaded year making me hope 2014 is a little more balanced when it comes to quality.
My anticipation level, of course, is no surprise considering those three were in the top five of my Ten Most Anticipated Movies of Fall 2013.
Today a new TV spot for Hustle premiered and I only need to skim through the trailer to realize, yet again, this is a movie I need to see.

A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock our nation, American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that’s as dangerous as it is enchanting. Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving’s unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Like David O. Russell’s previous films, American Hustle defies genre, hinging on raw emotion, and life and death stakes.
