One of the best crime drama movies of recent years is on TV tonight

Based loosely on true events, the film has an 88% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Adapted to the screen from New York Magazine's 2015 article 'The Hustlers at Scores', the film follows Destiny (Constance Wu), a struggling exotic dancer who works in a New York club.

There, she meets and gets taken under the wing of an older, street-smart dancer named Ramona (Jennifer Lopez).

"Ramona soon shows Destiny how to finagle her way around the wealthy Wall Street clientele who frequent the club," the plot synopsis adds.

"But when the 2008 economic collapse cuts into their profits, the gals and two other dancers devise a daring scheme to take their lives back."

Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria (Succession), Hustlers also stars Cardi B, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart and Lizzo.

The movie was a smash hit with both audiences and critics upon release and holds an 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Particular praise went to Lopez's career-best turn, Scafaria's stylish direction and the film's brilliant use of music, with sequences set to Fiona Apple and Lorde songs being the stand-outs.

Hustlers is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on Film4 at 12.50pm. It is also currently available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
