When Jennifer Lopez asks if you’re in, you say yes. So get on board with this trailer for Hustlers, loosely based on a true story, about a group of strippers scheming to fleece their sleazy, loaded clients out of more than just a few fistfuls of dollar bills.

J-Lo plays the ringleader, telling her fellow dancers that “the game is rigged” — and hey, don't the post-crash Wall Street bros and execs they’re targeting deserve a little retribution?

The heels are stacked and so is this cast: as well as Lopez, there’s Crazy Rich Asians star Constance Wu, Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, current internet queen Lizzo, and Cardi B in her feature debut. The superstar (herself a former stripper) was cast after director Lorene Scafaria slid into her Instagram DMs.

Hustlers is out in the U.S. on Sept. 13.
