Weekly Round-Up - Last Vegas/American Hustle/Railway Man



Last Vegas: I felt like I had already seen all the funniest bits in the trailer but it is still a nice, easy, undemanding watch. Kevin Kline gets all the best lines and Mary Steenburgen is still a hottie!

6/10

American Hustle: Not very exciting but incredibly stylish, slick and classy. The top notch cast give an absolute masterclass in acting. Also, Jennifer Lawrence is, once again, amazing. Steals every scene she is in, especially the science oven one!

8/10

The Railway Man: The film has a slightly uneven feel to it as it jumps back and forth from Colin Firth and Jeremy Irvine who play the older and younger Eric lomax respectfully. Irvine is very believable as a younger colin firth and both actors do a decent job. However, perhaps the worst part of this film is the casting of Stellan skarsgard who plays Lomax's old ENGLISH pal, Finley, but the swede makes no attempt at an English accent whatsoever. Overall though, the true story at the heart of this film is incredibly moving and so its impossible not to like.

7/10
