This movie was great. David Russell basically combined his casts from The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook and none of them missed a beat. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence were awesome as always. Amy Adams continues to get better and better with every movie she does. And Christian Bale? What else can be said about how great this guy is. Just the body transformation he went through for this film is mind blowing like what he has done with past roles. The story was very interesting and watching it all play out was a great hook. The only knock I could make against this movie is how long it was. There was no need for this movie to be nearly three hours. They could have easily trimmed this down.
Regardless of it being too long, I would still absolutely recommend this movie. It will be on most top ten lists by the end of the year and is sure to get many award nominations, deservedly so.
