The crime genre has long been dominated by men doing bad things. Think of the all-time best crime movies — Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, The French Connection — and you’ll notice how homogenous they are. Although they are not necessarily formulaic, they do follow a pattern, and it’s one where bad men live dangerously, reach enviable highs, and eventually suffer huge downfalls. Sometimes, we root for them to win, as misguided as their actions might be, like in Dog Day Afternoon.
Brave and refreshingly earnest, Hustlers goes to great lengths to make sure you empathize with these characters — Destiny has a grandmother to look after, Ramona is a single mother supporting a teenager, and the operation’s two young players, Mercedes and Anabelle , are quirkier and more innocent than they admit.
The system is rigged Like all the best crime movies, Hustlers has something to say about crime itself, why it happens, why it’s alluring, and why it can’t possibly last. During a particularly impassionate speech, while trying to convince Destiny to join her scam, Ramona urges her to “start thinking like these Wall Street guys,” who earn millions while so many others can’t even retire with dignity.
