A devastating story that reaches beyond a sport-drama genre. On the surface, The Hustler is about a pompously charming pool player trying to scoop as much money as he possibly can from his opponents. But underneath, ego and pride drive him toward self sabotage. This movie is far more profound than i expected based on the poster alone. On top of that, having Paul Newman, George C. Scott and Piper Laurie is such pure delectation.
