Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

American Hustle (out Dec 12) is a "who's playing who" caper film that doesn't gel. There are some great individual performances but the premise takes too long to set up and it's hard to believe that characters so dumb are able to pull this off. Grade: B.
