American hustle

Christian Bale is a con man. He meets Amy Adams and together they create the perfect con scheme until the day they are caught by an FBI agent, Bradley Cooper. They agree to work with him.
A nice movie that can be a little confusing at the beggining. The theater was almost full. You don't notice time passing.
