Escándalo americano (2013)★ 7.2/10

Hay muchas películas sobre estafas, muchas. Pero esta película te lleva a una época de los 70' que te da ganas de vivir con ellos. Grandes actuaciones por parte del elenco y un guion impecable. Muchas pelucas en esta película.

Christian Bale nos demuestra nuevamente su compromiso con un cambio físico extremo para su papel en "Escándalo americano", donde da una de las actuaciones más interesantes de su carrera.

I knew I was gonna love this right from the opening scene when a '70s-styled, semi-bald Bale combs around tufts of hair to try and cover up his bald patches. I could not help myself. Now, there are many 'heist' movies around, they're a dime a dozen these days, and I may be biased because I thoroughly enjoyed this one so much, but I sort of almost thik this wan the one that started the new kind of hype wave of heist movies we're seeing now, in a way. If not, I'll still defend it influenced it loads: it sets a specific pacing, a level and style of acting, a look, an *aura*, the cast is impeccable, the plot-twists are *the* plot-twists (or were, at the time), even maybe types of characters. But I digress. Just go and watch it, it's pretty cool.

Christian Bale once again proves that he is committed to each role with a new extreme physical change for the movie "American Hustle" where we can see him in one of the most interesting performances of his career.
