One of the criticisms levied at the overuse of violence, but honestly I find this to be incredibly lazy. It’s a mob movie — what exactly were you expecting?

‘Hustlers’ Falls Short Despite Impeccable Cast
|
I really wanted to love this movie. Filled to the brim with some of the most iconic names in the music industry and Hollywood (perhaps too many — was Usher’s cameo really necessary?), I expected nothing but great things from this eclectic, glittery premiere. I was eager to dive straight into the world of strip clubs and pole dancing, and while the first 10 minutes succeeded in whetting my palate, I quickly lost interest and fell more and more confused as every minute passed. It seemed like with every new scene there was another storyline to be explored that was never truly followed up on. What resulted was a chaotic mish-mosh of blurry flashbacks and awkward cuts to the present-day.

The Touchtones’ ‘Midas Touch’ — A Golden Cornell Performance
|
The Touchtones’ final song, a mashup of Bruno Mars’ “Runaway” and Florence + the Machine’s “Dog Days Are Over,” was my personal favorite; the slower rendition of the songs really allowed for soloist Nicole Lehman ’20 to shine.
