Hustlers (2019)

Hustlers: Directed by Lorene Scafaria. With Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Stiles, Mette Towley. Inspired by the viral New York Magazine article, Hustlers follows a crew of savvy former strip club employees who band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients.

“This was just a bunch of women complaining about how the game is rigged while they were stealing as much as they could then doing nothing with whatever they got, then repeating the cycle. In the end reality catches up to them and the movie ends. The main character is stupid as hell and when it is time to show she has some moral fiber she blows it. I was waiting for the big reveal or drama or whatever happens in the third act to keep you interested in the characters that were presented in the first part of the movie. And it never happened. This was just… not interesting or appealing in any way. Even the strip club scenes were ruined by either bad editing or choosing to focus on an obese stripper for some reason.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd the cast… so many people I recognized that had absolutely no relevant roles: the one eyed crazy lady from Handmaidu0026#39;s Tale, Julia Stiles, Frank Whaley… even Usher made a 2 minute appearance. What were they doing here?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt felt like a PSA film about how not to be a stupid whore. And I am not being offensive here, just descriptive.”
