And sharing a similar sentiment, Jason Guerrasio from Business Insider added: Jennifer Lopez is amazing in HUSTLERS. STX needs to do a serious Oscar campaign for her. She is that good!!

Wowza, get that girl the golden statue pronto.

The positive response will no doubt come as even more good news for J.Lo as she not only stars in Hustlers, but has produced the movie too.
