One of the worst movies I've ever seen
A Masterpiece!
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The movie 'The Hustle' was good. I thought it was kinda funny... i don't know whether it was supposed to be or not....but anyways yea it was funny because everytime you thought Maya was going for one guy she'd skrew him over LoL. But I think Bobbie Phillips is a great actress and shes really pretty so anyone who hasn't seen this movie should rent it!If you like movies where you get lost at times you'll definitely like this one! In the end it all does make sense though so go rent it! NoW! lol. knh, jillI guess since I have to write 10 lines for you to see this I'll just tell you that Bobbie Phillips is pretty... again. And stop reading this and go get the movie because you will like it!
The plot, to say the least, is confusing: a man and a woman playing the old badger game get caught up in a web of sleuthing, multiple identities, and shifting loyalties that leave the viewer wondering what happened. It's hard to find a "good guy" character to root for. Nevertheless, the performances are quite watchable, especially Bobbie Phillips in the lead--she can act, and she's not afraid of a little nudity (full frontal, in fact), nor should she be, as she's drop-dead gorgeous, and has a wonderful set of breasts. (If that's a blatantly sexist observation--well, it's also a true one.) The other actor who compels one to watch is the always dependable Stephen McHattie, he of the evil grin, who shines as the "mastermind" of the whole weird mess. These two actors should be offered roles in far better films than this! Oh, and if you do watch it, you'll get the impression that Robert Wagner gets prominent billing due to his name, rather than his limited footage, and you'll be right, but he does have his moment, very near the end. Performances by the above actors: 8.5 out of 1O. Film as a whole: 4 out of 1O.
The movie was okay. Nothing spectacular, unless you look at Bobbie Phillips. Man she is hot. I'm surprised she hasn't been in more and better films. This movie is okay. The constant double crosses keep you guessing. It's your average grifter conning another crook film. The only reason to rent this is to see Bobbie Phillips and that is about it.
I first saw part of the movie on television, but the sync of the actors voices was not matched up well. Maybe because the actors spoke English and they were redone in German. This happens often. I was able to retrieve a copy in English through a friend and Wow! I'm glad I waited to watch it. It is a thriller, some say a mix of "Pretty Woman" and "The Grifter". I just know it was enjoyable and just when I thought I knew where it was heading, it surprised me. It also has a fun comedic flair throughout. The American actress Bobbie Phillips is a wonderful actress and played many different characters. She is also quite beautiful. German actor Thomas Heinz is good as well (although this role is different from most things I've seen him in, so it was hard to get used to). Overall, I would say this movie is a must see for anyone who enjoys thrillers.
