A little different Saturday night than my normal. I wanted tonight to be different than sitting at home watching repeat episodes of Henry Danger and Drake and Josh. I stressed an interest in tonight's cinema at the Kent theatre on the westside of Flatbush, Brooklyn. I wanted to see the last night premiere of the movie, "Hustlers" starring Jennifer Lopez as Ramona, Constance Wu as Destiny, Keke Palmer as Mercedes, Lili Reinhart as Annabelle, Julia Stiles as Jennifer, Cardi B as Diamond and Madeline Brewer as Dawn.
The film is based on a group of females from the New York City area who had a passion for dancing and making money. Specifically making money off of rich, horny, executive white men from wall street. Everything were going fine until the money stop coming. A huge stock market crash stagnated the girls from making money. The money wasn't coming as fast as it used to be. They need to devise a scheme where they can make even more money off of these wall street executive losers. Ramona (Jennifer Lopez) the ring leader had a plan to drug the men with a particular drug that would make them pass out and forget what they have gotten themselves into. First in order for a plan like this to work you needed to first pick out a specific victim. A specific man who looks like he has money and also looks like he will be willing to spend money on four sexy females. The most important thing about this plan. The man have to be married. The girls always had to look for the wedding rings on their victims. Think about it a man with a wedding ring is the most easiest pick. No man in their right mind is going to report being robbed by four sexy female strippers to their wives.
At least that is what they thought until one man decided to make this public in hopes to prevent something like this happening to other men. Doug (Steven Boyer) the whistleblower went to the police to file a report on four women who he met at a strip club, who robbed him for all of his finances. In the process this lead to a decline of Doug's wife and his family. So you can understand his reasons for wanting to get back at these girls. A scheme like this taking advantage of desperate, lonely men could have went on forever. If it wasn't for Destiny (Constance Wu) having a heart and some compassion to what they have done to Doug.
This scam could of continued. Destiny wasn't too big on what they were doing. She needed to be convinced by her girl, Ramona on what they were about to do. Ramona and Destiny have been down with each other from day one. Destiny trusted Ramona and vice versa. These two were like sisters.
You wanna know something I just witnessed a film last night with the same exact concept called, "Jack Squad" released on DVD back in 2009. It was a film with three young black females from Decatur, Ga who were tired of being broke and they wanted to live that high society lifestyle. Until, one member had a change of heart and started thinking more realistically into the future.
It seems that a sense of distrust have occurred between Ramona and Destiny. It was as if the more money they made, the more problems would occur. Destiny began having doubts about what the girls have been doing to these guys. If I forgot to mention during this blog review. Destiny was actually the narrator of the film. The majority of the film was spent with Jennifer (Julia Stiles). They never really specified Jennifer's roll in the film. I believe everyone sitting here tonight inside this theatre assumed she may have been Destiny's psychiatrist. Destiny spent time with Jennifer giving a break down of how this all began.
Now, I'm not going to front I actually spent money on this film to see Cardi B's performance. I guess you can say I was robbed. Cardi B didn't have a major impact in the film. Regardless it was still cool seeing her. Cardi B played a wild hood type stripper named, Diamond. There was like only three scenes involving her. I just wish the script added her as one of the girls to be apart of the team. She probably would of been like the O-Dog of this film, lol.
Hustlers was awesome tonight. I most definitely enjoyed the film and my night. 💯
I most definitely reccomend this film to anyone who has an interest in seeing it. You're going to love it. Do you know why because RUSTY JABBZ SAYS SO, LET ME GET A HELL YEAH! 🤟
