Hustlers

The story centers on Destiny, played by Constance Wu, a stripper who befriends Ramona, portrayed by Jennifer Lopez. Ramona leads a crew of dancers who exploit the financial instability following the 2008 stock market crash by charging their clients more than they can afford. The premise is based on a 2015 New York Magazine article that detailed real-life events involving former strippers who scammed Wall Street traders.

Lorene Scafaria, known primarily for her work in indie films, directed and wrote Hustlers, bringing a female perspective to a story about women navigating power and survival. Jennifer Lopez’s performance was widely praised and marked a significant point in her acting career, earning her critical acclaim and several award nominations. The ensemble cast also includes Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Cardi B, and Lizzo, who contribute to the film's mix of humor and grit.

Produced by Gloria Sanchez Productions and Annapurna Pictures, among others, Hustlers was released by STXfilms and runs approximately 110 minutes. Its blend of social commentary, crime elements, and dark humor has earned it a place in contemporary pop culture discussions. Collectors can find Hustlers in multiple physical formats, including 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD, which offer various options for owning this well-regarded film.
