ONE WORD REVIEW: THOUGHT-PROVOKING
Hustlers focuses on the lives of two strippers, played by J.Lo and Constance Wu, and their friends, performed by actors such as Lili Reinhart and Cardi B, as they try to gain more money by taking advantage of the Wall Street bankers who used to take advantage of them. Lorene Scafaria’s movie shifts an audience stereotypical outlook on strippers by presenting a sympathetic perspective, and particularly on Wall Street bankers. Based on a true story which was published by New York magazine, J.Lo’s acting is superb. Therefore, it is surprising that she was not nominated for an Oscar. ‘Hustlers’ is not necessarily a family watch due to the slightly inappropriate dance sequences, and there are times when the acting is weak. That said, the tone of the film remains classy and thought-provoking.
