A star-studded crime caper throws off its shackles (and clothes) to strip down the streaming charts

Critical acclaim, awards season recognition, and no shortage of skin.

Infamously awful titles like Showgirls, Striptease, and I Know Who Killed Me had given movies about strippers a bad name, a reputation that was shaken off in some style when Hustlers arrived to steal the crown away from Magic Mike as arguably the subgenre’s best-ever effort.

Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an impressive 87 percent score, writer and director Lorene Scafaria’s crime caper inspired by true events was also a monster-sized success at the box office after bringing in close to $160 million on a $20 million budget, while it additionally landed a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress thanks to a career-best turn from Jennifer Lopez.

Even now, Hustlers has cemented its enduring popularity by stripping down to gyrate around the streaming charts, with FlixPatrol revealing the widely-acclaimed and highly profitable tale to be one of the most-watched features on both iTunes and Google Play Movies over the weekend, and it goes without saying that there’s a lot more to the film than simply eye candy.

The insanely stacked roster features Constance Wu, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Lizzo, Cardi B, Julia Stiles, and many more diving deep into a redemptive tale that finds Lopez’s Ramona launching a get rich quick scheme that sees the dancers turn the tables on the lecherous male clientele, even if it isn’t long before the authorities start sniffing around the widespread suspicious activity that sees the hardy cabal of strippers take their lives back by putting paying customers and all-round creeps right in their place.
