Miami Hustle (1996)
Marsha, a con artist with a conscience, has agreed to take on an unusual scheme in order to pay off a debt to a lawyer who helped out her brother. An elderly millionaire is about to die, and the entire fortune has been willed to a stripper named Jean, who is unaware of the windfall awaiting her. Marsha's task is to get to know Jean well enough that she can impersonate her at the reading of the will and take the inheritance for herself. Taking a job at the same strip club, the pair soon bond, but will Marsha's feelings for her new friend outweigh her need to help pay off her brother's debt?

A Brilliant Conflict
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Blistering performances.
Yes, it was bad, as bad as movies can usually get. The acting was tolerable, and there really wasn't much story as con artists try to con the marks and each other. The ending was corny and poorly written.But the whole point was to get another chance to see the lovely Audie England (Delta of Venus, Free Enterprise), and we did get to see her. Wow! I am so glad she decided to appear on this side of the camera instead of becoming a cinematographer.We get a bonus as this film also included the gorgeous Kathy Ireland, the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition model. We just have to imagine what lies beneath with Ireland as she has one of those Sandra Bullock no-nudity clauses in her contracts. But, it was fun imagining.
Please don't view this film! This is a terrible film, Kathy Ireland what are you doing? please don't waist your time with this. If they stuck to their original idea with Pamela Anderson in the lead role it would of still been as bad.I think that Pammy avoided this film due to its terrible script and not the nude scenes as Kathy Ireland has none in it anyway. Audie England supporting role is also waisted as she has much more talent to be in a film this bad. Audie should be auditioning for Meg Ryan type parts which suit her.stay away from movies which sucks and make you look worse.
Yes, it barely qualifies as a film, with the worst imaginable acting, directing and writing. But for some reason I find films like this to be intriguing when viewed as cultural artifacts. It just seems to me they're made so cheaply that they can't help but capture the moment better than a big, expensive, heavily styled Hollywood production. I'm old enough to not think of 1996 as that long ago, so I was amazed at how dated everything in this film looks. For instance, all the women wear these ill-fitting jeans with tapered legs and high waists and their long blouses tucked in, which is just the opposite of what you see now (thank God!) Living through the '90s I was just happy nothing looked like the '80s; watching this movie made me glad nothing looks like the '90s.
I remember being in my college dorm room and I decided to go to the local video store and rent this. What better way to spend a bored and lonely Friday night than to watch Kathy Ireland! Kathy stars as a con artist who uncovers a twisted and corrupt game of cat and mouse. The character Kathy plays seems at first bad but as the plot develops we see Kathy as a hero. This is just one of those movies to watch if you have nothing else better to do it is not at all sexy.
