The Chinese translation of "Stealing the Heart" is indeed more appropriate than the Taiwanese "Goddess of Fraud"

The English title of the film "Hustle": There is a British drama "The Flying Thief" of the same name, which actually means "liar". This British drama is well-made, powerful plot, elegant crime, and superb deception. Comparing the two, it seems that the film is useless... Therefore, if the quality of the film is not even comparable to TV series, it can be imagined that it can only belong to the small category C-level film produced in Hollywood every year. The overall look and feel is the same as expected. With such a character setting and plot trend, I didn't expect it to be so good. Choosing to see it is nothing more than to see Anne Hathaway and what chemistry can interact with Rebel Wilson (a fat comedian like Jia Ling). Facts have proved that it is purely a little farce to watch after a meal. High-IQ crimes have become low-IQ-based frauds, which are even worse than Hathaway’s already terrible pirate movie "Crossing the Sea: Beauty Trick", which she starred in last year. It’s just that "The Thief of Heart" is not a criminal thief movie like "Hiding the Sky". There is no meticulously planned deception. It is completely in a ridiculous comedy style (but not funny at all) and portrays the victim into a brainless idiot. "Fraud" has simply become a tool for fun. Of course, the expectations are different, and the final scoring criteria are also different. The two movies are half a catty to each other. PS: Anne Hathaway can no longer do performances with too rich facial expressions, wrinkles are so scary and old-fashioned. However, as long as she doesn't make too many expressions, she can still look extraordinarily beautiful.
