Hustlers
Director: Lorene Scafaria
Actors: Constance Wu, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Stiles
PlotDestiny is an aspiring young dancer working at a New York strip club, trying to make ends meet and care for her grandmother. Struggling to earn substantial money in the competitive and often exploitative environment, she is taken under the wing of Ramona, the club's top earner and a seasoned dancer. Ramona introduces Destiny to the art of seduction and high-roller client management, teaching her how to navigate the lucrative sex industry. Together, they form a profitable partnership, creating a sisterhood amongst their colleagues and thriving until the financial crash of 2008 upends their opulent livelihood.
With the economy in recession, the club's clientele dwindles, and the dancers' income plummets. Desperate to reclaim their past prosperity, Ramona devises a risky scheme to target wealthy Wall Street clientele, seducing and drugging them to run up their credit cards at the club. Destiny, hesitant but driven by financial pressures, joins the plot, and they enlist a crew of fellow dancers to execute their plan. The group embarks on a dangerous game of deceit and manipulation, exploiting the greed and indiscretion of their rich marks. As the money flows in and their lives become entangled in excess and lawlessness, the risks they take begin to escalate, testing the limits of their alliance.
