Hustlers is a 2019 American crime drama film written and directed by Lorene Scafaria, based on New York magazine's 2015 article "The Hustlers at Scores" by Jessica Pressler. The film stars Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Lizzo, and Cardi B. The plot follows a crew of strippers in New York City who begin to steal money by drugging stock traders and CEOs who visit their club, then running up their credit cards.
The film is reminiscent of films like The Wolf of Wall Street, but the main actors are not stockbrokers, but strippers. Instead of men in suits, you can admire female bodies in lascivious costumes and beautiful shoes. Especially the main character, the Asian Destiny, played by Constance Wu, looks particularly attractive here. The activities of this female gang end up similar to the fates of greedy stockbrokers, although in this case the audience will certainly be more sympathetic.
Over all, the film is otherwise enjoyable, relaxing and definitely worth a watch. It had its world premiere on September 7, 2019 at the Toronto International Film Festival.
In the Philippines, the film was banned due to inappropriate content.
