Every song is brilliant—and perfectly chosen.
"The Hustlers at Scores," centers on a group of strippers who used drugs, alcohol, and sheer sex appeal to scam their wealthy clients out of thousands. It's the type of story that demands a loud, epic soundtrack—and"Most of the music choices were also written into the script," Lorene Scafaria, the movie's director, tells. "I had obviously imagined scenes to these songs, and we shot to these songs, but you never know if you're going to get the rights.
She did get the rights, thankfully, and the movie is better for it. The aforementioned money-making scene just wouldn't have popped the same way without Spears' breathy, distorted vocals. "['Gimme More'] was a song that was really a perfect time capsule of that era, both of the Wall Street guys and the girls working," Scafaria says. "Being able to intercut to that song was crucial.
Or how about Ramona's first dance in the film, set to "Criminal" by Fiona Apple. The song's title alone makes it perfect for Ramona, who eventually becomes a criminal, but read some of the lyrics: "It's a sad, sad world/When a girl will break a boy/Just because she can." The entire plot ofcenters on women metaphorically "breaking" morally-corrupt men.
Equally-as-chilling is when Dawn , one of Ramona's recruits, goes behind the group's back and stages a sting with the police, who eventually become privy to their crimes. During the sting itself, Dawn's voice is muffled—like you're hearing it from inside the cop van that's parked right across the street. It's nothing short of brilliant.
But I won't bore you with any more nerdy details like that. Instead, I'll leave you with the second-best music moment inIt happens at the very beginning of the movie, when Destiny—shy, nervous, and awkward—works one of her first nights at the club. She's broke, unhappy, and determined to stand on her own two feet. Playing in the background is Janet Jackson's "Control," a song that's since become an anthem for women looking to claim their power.
