Hustlers

Hustlers is a triumph.

It's easy to get lost in the visceral joy that comes with watching women move this way.

A heist thriller-cross-social drama, Hustlers' weight is wrapped in the veneer of diamantés and stilettos, but there is real substance here.

...the script and plot are dull and obvious. The attempted humour is anything but funny.

The hard-boiled exchanges between the women have a genuine exuberance, recalling Hollywood movies of the 1930s where showgirls trade wisecracks backstage.

As good as Lopez and her onscreen accomplice Constance Wu are, they can't act what isn't in the script; other than a dedicated work ethic, we're never given access to their thoughts.

Hustlers, like its protagonists, promotes itself under the facade of beauty and sex but hides behind it a story loaded with a social criticism that confronts the viewer. [Full review in Spanish]

[Lopez] absolutely owns every second she's on screen.

J-Lo and Constance Wu are just awesome and this film has a great soundtrack...

A glitzy caper about money, friendship, and revenge.
