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.Good film.

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

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.… Expand

I enjoyed the movie. Pleasantly surprised at its candid view of their lives. Also felt like they didn’t draw conclusions on the ethical sides, but presented the story instead.

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

A valentine to female friendship and a condemnation of an engendered capitalist system. Wu and Lopez are phenomenal in fully rendered, dimensional parts. 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.… Expand

'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.… Expand

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.… Expand

The visually delightful "Hustlers" is a mostly entertaining and well-acted film. However, the plot is repetitive and the film drags in the middle.
