Hustlers
Short description
Hustlers follows a group of women working at a New York strip club whose wealthy clientele comes from Wall Street. When the 2008 financial crisis wipes out their earnings, Ramona, the club's star dancer, and Destiny, a newcomer she takes under her wing, put together a plan with other dancers to turn the tables on the men they once entertained. What begins as a way to recover lost income grows into something more ambitious and increasingly risky, testing the bonds among the women involved.
Lorene Scafaria wrote and directed the film, her third feature after Seeking a Friend for the End of the World and The Meddler. Constance Wu plays Destiny and Jennifer Lopez plays Ramona Vega, with Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart and Mercedes Ruehl in supporting roles. Jennifer Lopez also produced alongside Will Ferrell and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.
Made for a budget of 20 million dollars, the film took about 158 million dollars worldwide. It drew a critics' rating of 7.3 out of 10 from 358 reviews, while audiences rated it 6.5 out of 10 on both IMDb and TMDB.
