Big screen offerings have been disappointing of late, but this one has got something for everyone. Howard Hughes, if you are reading this, Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence are your kind of women. There’s more hooch kookie in AH than I can remember in “Underwater” or “The French Line.”
I worry that Robert DeNiro, in a cameo scene, runs the risk of being typecast as a gangster, heaven forbid. It doesn’t bode well for any future romcoms with DeNiro and Katherin Hegl or Tina Fey.
I also worry that gents of Italian origin from New Jersey by inference are viewed with suspicion in this 2:20 minute look at the seamier side of politics and business American style. The story comes alive when the Jeremy Renner character appears onscreen. Christian Bale mumbles and whispers so I need to await the DVD with closed captions for his lines. daz
