American hustle : original motion picture soundtrack

"Vi får velkendte skæringer fra Donna Summer, Elton John, Wings, Tom Jones og Bee Gees på et album, som også byder på fine genhør med America (er der i øvrigt nogen, som kan huske dem?) og Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - og en enkelt rigtig glædelig overraskelse i skikkelse af 23-årige Mayssa Karaas arabiske udlægning af Jefferson Airplanes 1967-hit White Rabbit".

"Like Goodfellas and Boogie Nights before it, American Hustle's music celebrates the epic feel of '70s pop, rock, and disco and uses it to give its story extra heft. David O. Russell's tale of con men, Feds, and the mob has a lighter touch than either of those two movies, however, and this is reflected in the soundtrack's song choices ... A nuanced and playful soundtrack, American Hustle works well as a companion piece to the movie that spawned it and on its own".
