Two women out to con an internet millionaire
‘The Hustle’, a Hollywood comedy, the third remake, revolves around two women who set out to con an internet millionaire, is now being released at cinemas in and around Colombo.
Directed by Chris Addison, the film is a female-centered remake of the 1988 film “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”, which is itself a remake of the 1964 film “Bedtime Story”. Starring Anne Hathaway, Rebel Wilson, Alex Sharp, and Dean Norris, in the main cast, it was written by Stanley Shapiro, Paul Henning, Dale Launer, and Jac Schaeffer.
Josephine Chesterfield is a glamorous, seductive British woman who has a penchant for defrauding gullible men out of their money. Into her well-ordered, meticulous world comes Penny Rust, a cunning and fun-loving Australian woman who lives to swindle unsuspecting marks. Despite their different methods, the two grifters soon join forces for the ultimate score — a young and naive tech billionaire in the South of France.
The Hustle is now being screened at Colombo City Centre, Liberty by Scope Cinemas, MC Cinemas, Empire, Milano and Savoy Rajagiriya.
