The Hustle

Two con artists, one high-class and the other a rough-around-the-edges grifter, team up to take down the corrupt tech billionaire who wronged one of them. They embark on a series of elaborate schemes to fleece their target, but their differing styles and motivations threaten to derail their plan at every turn.

The Hustle received generally mixed to negative reviews from critics, with many finding the humor predictable and the plot derivative of its predecessor, 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'. Audience reception was slightly more favorable, appreciating the comedic performances, particularly from Rebel Wilson.

• Despite a promising premise and energetic performances, the film often relies on tired tropes and predictable jokes.
• The chemistry between the two leads is a highlight, but it's not enough to elevate the uninspired script.
• A pale imitation of its classic inspiration, lacking the charm and wit to make its con artistry engaging.

Google audience: Audiences generally found 'The Hustle' to be an amusing, albeit forgettable, comedy. Many enjoyed the lead actresses' comedic timing and the overall lightheartedness of the film, though some felt the plot was too similar to other con artist movies.

None notable.

The film is a remake of the 1988 comedy 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,' which starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine.
