'Hustlers' review — Everyone is hustling someone

Hustlers follows a group of strippers as they hatch a plan to swindle money from their wealthy clientele.

30-second review: Hustlers is an incredibly complex movie. Not only is it hilarious and charming, it delivers commentary on complicated themes of female relationships, the power dynamic between men and women, and the struggle of the working class. And it doesn't betray either side. It never becomes uncompelling or unentertaining.

Much of the credit for its success lies in director and writer Lorene Scafaria's understanding of the characters. They're hilarious and fun to hang out with, but also lived in and realistic. There's so much to latch onto. It also helps that Jennifer Lopez is doing some of the best work of her career and is worth of Oscar attention.
