Sony PIX, India’s leading English movie channel is all set to premiere the black comedy crime movie ‘American Hustle’. Inspired by the real life tale of the FBI ABSCAM operation of the late 1970s, Golden Globe award
winning and Academy Award nominated movie ‘American Hustle’, will
telecast for the first time on Indian Television on Saturday, 26th
December, at 9.00 PM only on SONY PIX.
Starring celebrated actors like, Amy
Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro along with
the ultimate, Christian Bale known for his impeccable method acting,
American Hustle is another world class film by David O Russell. Known
for his stellar work like Three Kings (1999), The Fighter (2010) and
Silver Linings Playbook (2012), David has charmed his audience once
again with this award winning cinematic masterpiece.
A fictional film set in the alluring
world of one of the most extraordinary scandals of the 1970s, ‘American
Hustle’ tells the story of a brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld
(Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive
partner, Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI
agent, Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into the
world of the Jersey powerbrokers and the mafia that is as dangerous as
it is enchanting. Jeremy Renner plays Carmine Polito, the passionate,
volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists
and the Feds. Irving’s unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence),
could be identified as the one to bring the entire world crashing down
like a delicate pack of cards. Like David O. Russell’s earlier two
films, American Hustle defies the genre to actually tell a story of
love, reinvention and survival.
Being one of the most critically
acclaimed movies of 2013, American Hustle is the winner of three Golden
Globe Awards and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards. It was also
honored with the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Performance by a
Cast, and the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Picture, Best
Supporting Actress, and Best Screenplay, and was cited on over 230 top
critics’ lists. Moreover, it managed an overall Box Office business
worth $251.1 Million with a rating on 7.3 out of 10 on IMDB. Being a
rare combination of blockbuster stars, commendable mix of multiple award
nominations and rare critical acclaim, American Hustle defines the
values of a successful drama film.
In addition to the acclamation, the lead
cast of the movie Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams hold
high ground towards making American Hustle a worldwide success. Former
macho Batman, Christian Bale went on to gain over 40 pounds to portray
Irvin, marking an uncanny resemblance to the real life con man. Amy
Adams and Bradley Cooper too went on to change their personality
significantly to bring alive their roles of Sydney and Richie.
