What is Hustlers about?
A crew of savvy former strip club employees band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
Savvy former strip club employees turn the tables on Wall Street clients in this gritty, darkly-comic crime drama.
Pulpy and intimate, with dry wit. A date-night pick at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy. Based on true events.
Streaming on Hulu.
