Russell brings a wonderful fluidity to this, assisted by Masanobu Takayanagi's highly mobile camera and vibrant editing from the great Jay Cassidy (and Crispin Struthers) - as evidenced for example in the really fast pull away from the couple right at the end. Thus the medical condition Bradley Cooper (and to some extent his dad Robert de Niro) faces is made more vivid. Great acting all round - Jennifer Lawrence won Oscar.
With Jacki Weaver, Chris Tucker, Apunam Kher, John Ortiz, Shea Whigham, Julia Stiles, Paul Herman (de Niro's gambling friend).
Loved the way Hudson keeps leaping out at Cooper running. Also the scene where she totally convinces de Niro she's a lucky talisman.
