Leans Left
Primary
The film is a lighthearted comedy focused on individual con artistry and the pursuit of wealth, with a superficial gender dynamic of women outsmarting men that does not translate into a deeper political critique or endorsement of specific ideologies, thus remaining neutral.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting, explicitly recasting traditionally male lead roles with female actresses. However, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make broader DEI themes central to its plot beyond this casting choice.
Secondary
The Hustle is a remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988). The two main con artist characters, originally male (Lawrence Jamieson and Freddy Benson), are portrayed as female (Josephine Chesterfield and Penny Rust). The mark, originally female (Janet Colgate), is portrayed as male (Thomas Westerburg). These are clear gender swaps.
The film 'The Hustle' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its plot. Consequently, there is no direct portrayal or impact on queer representation to evaluate, leading to an N/A rating for its depiction.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Hustle (2019) is a remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988), which itself was a remake of Bedtime Story (1964). While the gender of the main characters was swapped, the racial portrayal of the core characters remains consistent with their established depictions in previous versions. No character canonically established as one race is portrayed as a different race.
