The Worst Film Ever

Thanks for the memories!

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I do love this series. For me this is more like a true remake of the sixties series 'Mission Impossible' than the over indulgent Tom Cruise movies.The stories and the characters make it a must watch for me and I have bought the box sets to watch them over again. Some episodes are better than others but the main premise makes it a very enjoyable watch.Adrian Lester is a strange choice for Micky Stone as he is far to recognisable for a con man who repeatedly orchestrates these cons, yet somehow the excellent Mr Lester pulls it off. he is charming and intelligent and a capable leader of this group of con men and women. Rober Vaughn is perfect as Albert Stroller and he adds a touch of real Hollywood to this show.All the cast are good in all series and those that left were replaced by very good replacements. I believe this is because it is more about the stories and characters than the actors.The only downside to the show is that some cons are just too unbelievable, especially the ones where the Police know who the gang are but still cannot catch them.However this can be overlooked as it is fantasy after all.

After reading some reviews and seeing its awards I really thought "Wow,this might be my next TV Series to watch." The name "Hustle"just makes you think this has some tricky stuff and might be fun to watch,but also might force you to be focused in order to understand/anticipate what they want to do. After watching the first episode I realized everything I expected crumbled.Characters are presented very fast,no history,they are thinly sketched. Moving on,once the "gang "reunites and talks over their plan to scam the old man,police already knows Mickey wants a last hit,they know at what hotel they stay,they know who's the target and so on.This means the scammers are not the best at what they do (in fact,the handlers of this case state that they are in another league).They manage to become friends with the target just because they had a scotch together.I won't continue with the spoilers,but the tricks they pull seem pretty naive and I didn't bought a thing from them.The only thing that might be mentioned is how they managed to trick the ATM by drawing with a marker a line over the visual sensor where they money come out from the ATM(I am not sure this is how it works though),but then again people want to get money from ATM,it doesn't work,the money get stuck in the machine and instead of making a complaint,calling police or something they just walk over.Not sure how this TV series managed to go all the way,maybe they have 10 years old fans .

There are 6 episodes per season and each episode (although not congruent with one another) are made to a movie caliber. There's some amount of wink, wink and hint, hint at the cameras, breaking the forth wall. But it's subtle and not overwhelming. The pace and chemistry of this crew is electrifying and addicting.There's not much of an overall story plot, other than a con per episode and there isn't too much of a background on all of the characters, but you will learn to love them within a nick of time.The cons are justified although not like freaking Leverage where there is a sappy scene giving the money to the less deserved. No this crew is after the money among other things, and do not make excuses for their own gain. However, they are so charming, smart, and yet humane that you learn to love them and watch them as they take down the greedy. Take note, that they do not go after those who have always wronged others, but just those whose greed leads path for this crew to take their money away.Hustle is my favorite "fun" TV show by far, because you just learn to love the con as well as the characters. Also the plot per episode is just so smart and outside the commonality of the con plots that it is astounding that this show isn't the number one show of all time.Also, I love Jaime Murray (who plays Stacy), I think she's puts sexy, smart, and beautiful all into one character and person.Lastly, they all have British accents. Just the notch that you need to bring you head over heels about this show.

This is quite simply the best British television programme that I have seen grace our screens. For those of you new to Hustle, there are 4 series - 24 episodes - of brilliance waiting to be watched. Series One and Two can only be described as 'must-see', each episode beautifully crafted with style and humour, revolving around the London-based con artist crew carrying out their latest elaborate con on the greedy, each with a twist at the end that you just don't see coming. Series Three sees the show get wittier and the cons get more elaborate, without so much as a dip in quality (though nothing could better the second series' finale), though Series Four finally revealed some cracks in the programme as it lost it's most important character - the leader of the group Mickey - which results in the cons becoming less sophisticated and the lovable Danny being mistakenly portrayed as amateurish by the writers - but fortunately the episodes pick up midway through the series and by episode 5 you wonder why you ever doubted them! I'm ending this review right here because you're already missing out on valuable time that could be spent watching this great show!!
