Cool flick! Very
good drama and awesome characters. Probably the most decent,
stand-up hero of a guy in the film was Mayor Carmine Polito, the guy
who makes the introductions between our heroes and the gangsters. But
seriously, his heart was clearly with the people of New Jersey, even
though he was willing to cut some corners and make some deals.
Very impressed by Amy Adams. I first
really noticed her in Enchanted,
where she played a generic Disney princess. Her movements were
perfect for the role and she convincingly stepped out of the
cartoons. In Hustle, it just looks like she said “C'mon, enough of
the respectable women, I wanna play a slut!” Which she does quite
well here.
Jennifer Lawrence was, sexually,
completely uninteresting in The Hunger Games, but plays a much more
interesting, messed up character here.
