“Hustlers,” based on a true story of a group of former strippers who conned men out of thousands of dollars, is more significant than it seems at first blush. It is a film starring and made by women with the backdrop of a subject matter that typically exploits women.

The film is based on an article by Jessica Pressler, and written and directed by Lorene Scafaria. The unfolding story is told firmly from the perspective of Constance Wu’s Destiny, a stripper who is pulled into an increasingly dangerous scam by the charismatic stripping veteran Ramona (Jennifer Lopez).
