Review of The Hustler (1961) by Jeremy S — 24 Aug 2007
I can't possibly imagine that Paul Newman films get much better than this - a much more layered character piece than I was expecting, particularly given the lean set-up in the first 15 minutes. Photography is gorgeous and the cast is spectacular.
The hustle itself is built with all of the trapdoors and tight corners of a bank heist; something really entertaining to watch unfold. I loved this movie.
