The first full trailer has dropped for the highly anticipated American Hustle today and it looks brilliant! This is David O'Russell's follow up after Silver Linings Playbook so we have high expectations for this one. And with an A list cast we already think this will be a big Oscar contender. Christian Bale heads up the cast with Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner all busting out the 70's glamour for the movie - check out Cooper in those curlers.
American Hustle is based on the FBI's Abscam operation that took place in the 70's and 80's. Cooper plays FBI agent Richi DiMaso who recruits con artist Irving Rosenfeld (Bale) and his partner Sydney Rosser (Adams) to take down the corrupt mayor and mobsters of the Camden, New Jersey seedy underworld. American Hustle hits our screens on the 20th December. You can check out the trailer below.
