Leave your thoughts about The Hustler.
| CitysearchDan FazioNewman and Scott smolder through the moody black-and-white cinematography, delivering line after line of crackling dialogue. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawEddie's true modern progeny is There Will Be Blood's Daniel Plainview, drinking bitter milkshakes since 1961. |
| Slant MagazineArthur Ryel-LindseyWith solid performances, a great jazz score by Kenyon Hopkins, and a virtual clinic in how to do black-and-white cinematography thanks to Eugene Shuftan’s camerawork, The Hustler reaffirms your faith in the movies. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenDingy atmosphere and great performances make this a standout. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Hustler is one of those films where scenes have such psychic weight that they grow in our memories. That's true of the matches between Eddie and Fats. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliOne of the most compelling character-based films to emerge from the decade of the 1960s. |
| EmpireRob FraserThere's a huge amount of style in this picture, but also a huge amount of substance underpinning it. |
| CineVueBruce FrettsPaul Newman won his Best Actor Oscar for its 1986 sequel, The Color of Money, but he executed an equally award-worthy turn in Robert Rossen’s jazzy, boozy pool-hall morality play. |
| Apollo GuideScott WeinbergStrikes that magical balance between a phenomenal cast, a director with a gift for shadow and mood, and a near-perfect screenplay. |
| Movie MomNell MinowDespite the seedy settings (so evocative that they are almost a character in the story), this is almost a traditional morality play about humility and redemption. |
