Review of The Hustler (1961) by Hoss R — 01 Dec 2011
Beautiful black and white cinematography, with just the right angles for everything and just the right performers as well. Pool is, imo, not that interesting a subject but these guys make it look ridiculously cool.
Paul Newman has never been better, and co-stars Gleason and Scott shine as well. A little long and a little slow but curiously involving even if you're not a big pool shark.
