The Hustle

The Hustle (2 out of 5 stars).

The Hustle is a comedy film that could have been funnier than expected with the leads played by Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway. The plot being about them being scam artists and conning man to giving them money or expensive jewelry. Hathaway plays a con artists that scams rich man. And Wilson is a con artists that tries to scam man for 500 dollars. They both team up to try to see who is the best con artist by trying to steal from a young rich guy who creates gaming apps.

It could have been funny. However, I feel like most of the laughs usually is in the trailer. While the rest of the movie is just dull and cheesy. It does have two great leads. The script lacks in keeping up with the humor and jokes. It gets boring for most of the movie. The plot is thin. There is a twist which does not leave you surprised at all. The music score is annoying by having a score like the 1960s heist movie.

Overall, The Hustle is a bad film. It is not as funny the trailer made out to be. Most of the humor and jokes are shown in the trailer. The story is boring. The direction is cheesy with its music score. Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson are the only positive things about the movie but even they could not save the movie.
