American Hustle is set to be one of the January films that is absolutely not to be missed, and we have some fantastic new clips for you to take a look at:
American Hustle has become a film that is super popular with the critics and it looks set to be one of the movies to watch out for on the awards circuit - especially at the Academy Awards.
At the moment, it looks like the Best Picture category could well be a three horse race between American Hustle, Gravity and 12 Years A Slave: however, the nominations have yet to be announced.
While the likes of Bale, Cooper and Adams could well pick up nominations for their performances, it looks like Lawrence could well be the favourite to scoop an acting gong on the evening of the Oscars.
Lawrence triumphed twelve months ago in the Best Actress category for Silver Linings Playbook - also an O.Russell directed film - and now she is leading the way in the Best Supporting Actress race.
David O. Russell has made some terrific movies in recent years, but this is his first film outing since the success of Silver Linings Playbook at the end of 2012.
Set in the seductive world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock the United States, American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Bale), who along with his equally cunning British partner and lover Sydney Prosser (Adams) is forced to work for a wild unhinged FBI agent Richie DiMaso (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.
If you are looking for a film to watch on the big screen this new year then look no further than American Hustle, as it boasts an all star cast that are at the top of their game.
American Hustle is released 1st January 2014.
