Hustlers (2019)

Strong performances, looks great, does some fun stuff with unreliable narrators and socioeconomic commentary. It effectively strikes a balance between rooting for and empathising with the protagonists while feeling conflicted at their actions. The story is a little thin and pretty tropey, and also a little anticlimactic on those terms. Taken as an intimate drama with a lot of bling on top rather than a crime epic, though, it works great.
Rating: Good
