The Hustle (2019)

An average movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Anne Hathaway, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, it has been years since I saw ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ (I apparently did enjoy it though) and I can’t say I was really dying to see a remake of this movie.
