Fresh off its illustrious festival debut at TIFF, writer/director Lorene Scafaria's "Hustlers" represents a solidly crafted and evocatively vibrant portrait of a true-to-life world of depravity, desperation, and crime, but not a whole lotFresh off its illustrious festival debut at TIFF, writer/director Lorene Scafaria's "Hustlers" represents a solidly crafted and evocatively vibrant portrait of a true-to-life world of depravity, desperation, and crime, but not a whole lot else. As a morality play, the film wavers between ambivalently observing and downright smirking at the questionable actions of the characters at large, an approach that doesn't exactly line up symmetrically with the more stern and cautionary final act. How are we supposed to feel about these characters? I at least felt certain of this at the end of the film, but throughout? Not sure. The performances are all quite good, with Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez among the standouts. I honestly wish I had more to say with this one, but I really don't think I was given that much else to discuss. Expand

Good film.

'Hustlers' makes for satisfactory viewing. Jennifer Lopez (Ramona) is accomplished in one of the two lead roles, I've previously enjoyed her in 2013's 'Parker'; which is the better film, but individually she's best here for sure.

Solidly told story, a few decent song choices in there too. All in all, it's a pleasant film to watch. Recommended.

Jennifer Lopez delivers a bravura performance truly worthy of a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Oscars. Her Ramona is charismatic, nuanced, scheming, funny, suave, and motherly all at once; though largely an ensemble piece, Lopez’s performance truly ties the entire film together — from her dazzling entrance to her final line.

They should have left out the frequently-vomiting girl. Added nothing whatsoever. When will screenwriters realize that puking is NOT FUNNY? Grow up, screenwriters.

Constance Wu plays the new girl who's taken under the tutelage of the accomplished mastermind (Jennifer Lopez, introduced via an amazing dance number and looking fantastic throughout). At first, things are all fun and director Lorene Scafaria has captured the carefree repartee and lively lifestyle with a natural energy. Although there's too much time spent on the party aspects, once matters gets serious, the drama develops adequately. Anyone expecting hot chicks on the pole will enjoy the first 30 minutes, but there's more to be appreciated in watching the relationships that develop and the machinations of their crime. Expand

There are no heroes in this film - as well there shouldn't be. But Wu and Lopez craft their characters with tremendous humanity, equal parts empathy and frailty. Scafaria rightly depicts the victim's perspective of the events that unfolded too but doesn't condemn her characters for it - as there is a larger, more antagonistic, more pervasive economic system to which they ALL fall victim.

'Hustlers' is not as groundbreaking as festival critics set it out to be, but enjoyable nonetheless. Constance Wu may be the lead actress in #Hustlers, but it's Jennifer Lopez who shines through (especially at 50 years of age).

The key issue
'Hustlers' is not as groundbreaking as festival critics set it out to be, but enjoyable nonetheless. Constance Wu may be the lead actress in #Hustlers, but it's Jennifer Lopez who shines through (especially at 50 years of age).

The key issue about 'Hustlers' that's still being discussed is whether or not the movie condones the "Robin Hood-esque" actions/crimes perpetrated by this opportunistic group of ladies. I personally wasn't bothered by it. The film ultimately felt ambivalent to their crimes. (But I know there are critics who think the film doesn't do enough to rebuke their actions — considering events in this movie happened in real life.)

Caution: To those of us who grew up listening to the magnificent pop music of the 2007s, you will want to dance and sob and remember that amazing, care-free era of our lives. #NeverForget: “Gimme More”, “Love In This Club”, “Club Can't Handle Me”, “Beautiful Girls”, “Motivation” + more.

To be honest, I wouldn't have watched this if it wasn't for the fact that there weren't any films out this weekend that I was particularly jazzed about. Still I try to rationalize the cost of my AMC A-List subscription by seeing at least one movie a week. I was really glad I chose this one.

This is an interesting film. It's a morally gray movie that focuses on the ethical murkiness of the situation of women taking advantage of the type of men who take advantage of them. The movie doesn't try to take a particular stand but just wants you to watch in fascination like a good true crime story. This also sort of has a heist-type feel to it. It's also pretty funny at moments.

The film does a good job of making you like the strippers at the outset before their actions become more complex and shadier. All four leads are great. I particularly liked Fresh off the Boat/Crazy Rich Asians' Constance Wu as the lead in a well-balanced performance. Keke Palmer also has great comedic chops in this.

Director Lorene Scafaria (who directed Looking for a Friend for the End of the World, an interesting film) really has a confident hold on this film. This is one of those movies that does an excellent job of leading the viewer. There are just some really strong edits and other ideas. The lighting, the outfits, the musical selections, etc. are all good.

Overall, the Hustlers is very interesting, very enthralling.

In 2014, Elizabeth, a journalist, is working on a story involving former New York City-based stripper Dorothy, known as Destiny, and Destiny's former friend and mentor, Ramona Vega.

Seven years prior Destiny is working at Moves, a strip
In 2014, Elizabeth, a journalist, is working on a story involving former New York City-based stripper Dorothy, known as Destiny, and Destiny's former friend and mentor, Ramona Vega.

Seven years prior Destiny is working at Moves, a strip club, to support her grandmother but is barely getting by. Mesmerized by Ramona's performance and the money she earns, Destiny strikes up a conversation. Ramona agrees to take Destiny under her wing, and the two form a formidable team. Destiny enjoys newfound wealth and a deep friendship with Ramona. A year later, the financial crisis of 2007–2008 strikes, and both women find themselves out of a job and lose touch. During this period, Destiny becomes a struggling single parent who has a hard time finding a job.

With no other options, Destiny returns to dancing. However, Moves has changed: the financial crisis has impacted the number of customers, and the club is primarily staffed by dancers from Russia regularly willing to perform sex acts for money, a line Destiny crosses in a moment of desperation. She reconnects with Ramona, who introduces her to her new hustle. Along with her two protegées, Mercedes and Annabelle, Ramona targets rich men at bars. With each outing, the women pretend to drink with each target while also secretly lacing the men's drinks with a ketamine/MDMA mix; once inebriated, they are escorted to Moves where the crew has negotiated a set cut rate that they receive based on how much they are able to charge on their targets' credit card.

The hustle proves itself to be very lucrative, and the women enjoy their new source of wealth. However, other strippers begin to emulate their strategies of bringing the clubs clients for a cut. Furious, Ramona cuts her business ties with Moves, reasoning that they can keep the entirety of what they earn, and the group begins to service clients in hotel rooms or their own homes. Mercedes and Annabelle become uncomfortable with the new practice and no longer reliably show up, so Ramona hires women with drug problems and criminal records as well as sourcing strangers as new clients against Destiny's advice, making Destiny uneasy.

Destiny's fears prove true when a client Ramona booked for Mercedes suffers a near-fatal accident and she must take him to the hospital because Ramona could not be reached, with Mercedes bailing out in the process. It is revealed that Ramona had again been preoccupied with bailing Dawn, a drug-addicted new hire whom Destiny finds sloppy and unreliable, out of jail. Upon returning home, Destiny finds that her grandmother, who has raised her since she was a child, has died. At the funeral, Ramona makes amends and promises to take care of Destiny from now on.

Returning to 2014, Destiny becomes uncomfortable and stops the interview when Elizabeth insists on talking about Ramona as well as why they ended their friendship and brings up Doug. When Elizabeth returns home, Destiny calls to finish their conversation, recalling how her friendship with Ramona—and their crime ring—fell apart. She explains that Ramona's continued callousness drove a wedge between the women, and Destiny could no longer justify her crimes (with Doug being one of her last targets, who Destiny viewed as being a genuinely nice person, as opposed to their initial targets who were Wall Street bankers not held accountable for causing the 2008 market crash). Doug is able to convince the police to take his claims seriously because he has evidence of the group's crime, leading to Dawn being picked up by the police and quickly agreeing to wear a wire to implicate Destiny and Ramona, and the investigators managing to locate several other corroborating victims. Destiny, Ramona, Annabelle, and Mercedes are arrested, but only Destiny takes a plea deal where she serves no jail time because she does not want her daughter to grow up without a mother the way she did. Ramona is sentenced to five years of probation, while the others serve short jail sentences on weekends before being released on probation.

Sometime later, Elizabeth receives a call from Destiny who has read the article and asks her if Ramona ever said anything about her. Elizabeth reveals that she only interviewed Ramona once, during which she explains that after an incident she started to keep her most valued possessions with her at all times, including a cherished childhood photo of Destiny. Ramona fondly expresses that she could never understand how Destiny's parents could have abandoned her. At the end of their call, Elizabeth encourages Destiny to reach out to Ramona.

Get Swindled by Hustlers

The Stream: An uneven final act feels both rushed and incomplete.
The Big Screen: Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer Lopez.
The Final Bill: A superstar performance by Jennifer Lopez, an awesome soundtrack and deserved comeuppance for the Wall Street-types makes for an energetic time at the movies.

-Trip Fontaine

The Great Recession hit the American economy like a ton of bricks. Banks! Foreclosures! Retirement Accounts! Strippers! Yes, multiple facets of the American society felt the pinch of the economic bust of the late 2000s and early 2010s. The dazzling crime drama, Hustlers, directed by Lorene Scafaria, details how when the money dried up on Wall Street the ladies on the main stage at Moves had to make some other moves *wink* to keep things afloat. Hustlers is based on true events reported from a New York magazine article. As outrageous as the tale all seems, the fact that there is some basis of truth makes it even more engrossing.

Constance Wu plays the neophyte dancer, Destiny, who just wants to be successful, powerful and as confidant a dancer as the veteran, Ramona, portrayed by an awe-inspiring Jennifer Lopez. Ramona is Destiny’s mentor in the good times and, eventually, partner in crime in the bad. The fact that these women hustle some guys looking for a good time is no secret, but the how of the scheme is interesting. Plus, Ramona’s justification for their actions is thought-provoking as well. Do these slime balls deserve to get swindled like they swindled the American people!?! Do two wrongs make a right? Exotic dancing Robin Hoods.

Well, Jennifer Lopez is the reason to see Hustlers on the big screen. I don’t want to oversell her performance, but it is the best things she’s ever done. Jennifer Lopez was a bona fide superstar before Hustlers. Her performance in Hustlers only underScores *wink* what people have known for the last two decades, even if it hasn’t been evidenced in some of her previous films. The determination that Ramona has is palpable through Lopez’s every move in the heights of her dancing and the desperation of her crimes.

I’ll also say that Wu is very good as the conduit for the audience. Keke Palmer has some great scenes as one of the fellow Hustlers. And, Cardi B has a hilarious cameo. The remainder of the cast is uniformly good, if not a bit overshadowed by Lopez’s strong presence. And, there’s an awesome soundtrack from the late 2000s that is full of earworms.

While the ending feels a bit rushed, the movie does get to what happens and the how even if that’s a bit of an after-thought. There’s an interview framing device that is kind of distracting. All you will really want is the film to get back to the club and back to whatever Ramona is doing.

Ultimately, Hustlers is an entertaining time, with a great performance by Lopez, and a thoughtful moral tale about money, desperation and the limits of friendship. It really feels like an easy theater going experience for all that will fulfill your expectations. Hustlers is worthy of your movie theater dollars, and if you can’t make it before it leaves theaters, definitely catch it as soon as you can on your streaming device. In fact, Lopez’s first appearance on screen is worth repeat viewing.

"This city, this whole country, is a strip club. You've got people tossing the money, and people doing the dance." Ramona is that bit*h! Love the movie

Just looking at the audience rating I know there are more jennifer haters than movie lovers. This movie is almost a game changer for Hollywood where great women are in control of the movie and behind the scenes.

This movie is almost a game changer for Hollywood where great women are in control of the movie and behind the scenes. Jennifer is the great protagonist and performs her role with commitment.

Hustlers is fun, sexy, naughty and realistic

The film is a great example of who the "predatory men" are, whose only ability is to make money. In fact, they are complex paupers - comic characters, who, if they had no money, no one would even notice.
