Jennifer Lawrence is the betting man’s favorite for the Best actress Oscar for that film, so why not re-team with Cooper and Russell for a movie about the FBI sting that faked out American members of Congress in the late 1970s/early ’80s, who thought they were dealing with rich Arabs wanting to buy influence on Capital Hill? Abscam, it was called, and it was a shameful episode that caught members of Congress stuffing cash down their pants.
It was also comical, because it caught members of Congress stuffing cash down their pants.
