Oh this is some good stuff. After a long time I was swept off my feet by a story this engaging.
I have to be honest: I did not want to see this movie at all. I saw this movie because it was movietime in my busy work/family schedule and I had to choose between this movie or the Lion King or no movie at all. The last one is not an option. And I had already seen the Lion King in 1994.
I was pleasantly surprised by the unique narrative device they used to tell the story. The female bonding between the main characters had such a impact on me. It's the heart of the story.
And yes they (the main characters) weren't that fancy in their manners. They had a questionable moral compass, to say the least. But it was triggered by something in their lives/situation.
It seems that moviegoers are underrating this movie, because of the (im)moral compass of the main characters. If morality is a measuring device for the quality of movies, at least their (the hustlers) moral code was more koosjer then that of the main characters of Wallstreet, the wolf of wallstreet and Goodfellas. And those movies get better moviegoer ratings hmmm..why is that.. I wonder....
A nomination is in order for Lopez, Wu and the director/ writer, if you will dear academy. They deserve it.
Moviegoer, If you hated it. See it again after a while. Let it marinade. You'll love it..
