Hustle

Jeremiah Zagar's film kept me entertained with its trusty clichés and its characters' sheer friendliness.

NBA fans will like this movie but it’s not only for them. I know little about basketball but I still wanted this very tall Rocky and his old-school coach to make that three-pointer.

Sandler doesn’t overdo the basketball scout character of Stanley Sugarmen. He lives it.

I don’t necessarily need to see more [Adam] Sandler Netflix movies&#59; I do need to see more movies by Jeremiah Zagar.

Hustle spins a familiar plot into a story that'll keep you invested even if you don't know a hoop dream from an embroidery hoop.

This is a good space for Sandler, a rich vein to keep mining.

It might not be up there with Uncut Gems or Punch Drunk Love, but Hustle almost makes up for cinematic black holes like Jack and Jill.

Jeremiah Zagar’s direction to highlight the physical demands of basketball showcase a side of sportsmanship and masculinity that demands to be celebrated.

Built from the ground up on the back of cameos, the atmospheric creating factor of the guest appearances separates Hustle from the completely “just because” ones in superhero movies.

A perfect combination of drama and humor&#59; and a sense of warmth that is conveyed at every moment. It is an ideal movie to have a good time and even to watch with the family. [Full review in Spanish]
