Hustlers finds perfect victim in greedy bankers

Film about striptease artists ripping off financiers concedes too much moral high ground

Hustlers finds perfect victim in greedy bankers

Movie: Hustlers

Striptease artists and bankers have more in common than just, well, spending a lot of time in strip clubs. Hustlers exposes the similarities between sex workers and financiers, but the based-on-a-true-story tale falters when writer-director Lorene Scafaria tries too hard to make it into a simple morality play.
