This movie was incredibly boring. The pacing was terrible, the plot was thin, they did a terrible job creating any kind of attachment to any of the characters. It was hard to stay awake for the full 2+ hours this movie was running. The worst part for me though was that there was absolutely no tension in the film at all.

This movie was basically a 1.5 hour yawn fest with an interesting last 15-30 minutes due to a cool "twist". Unfortunately there is no build-up and no tension-- they basically slip in a fact at the end that redefines the word "hustle" in the context of the movie. It's one of those things that when done right can have you re-evaluate your opinion of a film, but in this case it's too little too late.
To be fair, I'd probably give it a far higher rating if I had watched it at home instead of the theater, as I have a greater tolerance for a slow movie on the couch, but I found myself constantly staring at my watch in the theater..
P.S: If your GF is currently pissed off at you, DO NOT see this movie with her. Two of the female leads moan about their relationships and what their man doesn't give them, and out of the corner of my eye I could constantly see my GF nod her head each time one of the chicks on screen spewed venom about how horribad their man was.

glad i read some of these posts. was planning on seeing this movie this weekend, but maybe i'll check out "wolf of wall street" instead.
Yeah...kind of surprised by the feedback here. Glad I ignored the naysayers. Really good movie.
Acting was 10/10. The concept of everyone being a con. Tension was awesome after he was first caught. Whoever didn't like it your opinion is wrong.
