Although I'm bitter about the abuse of my aunt in "I Love Huckabee", I still think David O. Russell is quite distinctive. It's just that this time he restrained his jokes and told a sports story about the family in a down-to-earth manner. In fact, it is not easier to really do a good job of traditional narrative than to play with personality, and this time he proved his skill.
Christian Bale's Dicky character basically stole the most dazzling show meat, and Melissa Leo's dress with a certain Anjelica Huston trait also caught the eye. Mark Wahlberg is actually pretty good, but the plot needs the support of individual supporting characters, there is no way.
