It’s always a shame when Netflix waves goodbye to good movies and this month some of the flicks leaving the streaming service really sting. Not only is the big-red streamer removing the entire Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, alongside a compelling thriller with a killer twist, it’s also set to be time up for “American Hustle”; a boisterous crime drama with a dark comedy streak.
Released in 2013, and directed by David O. Russell fresh off the critical and commercial success of his previous movie “Silver Linings Playbook”, this drama explores corruption in the New Jersey public office, but this is anything but a dry political snoozer. With a cast bursting with A-listers including Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale and Jennifer Lawrence, it’s a genuine hoot.
