Critic Reviews of "The Hustler"
Hollywood ReporterSeptember 25, 2018Newman gives a restrained, modulated performance, an unusual one in that character development is sought and achieved with utilization only of voice, gesture, intensity.
The New RepublicJanuary 27, 2016Rosen, the co-author, has directed with a sure, economical hand. Newman is first-rate.
TIME MagazineAugust 03, 2008Newman is better than usual; Gleason, as the slit-mouthed, beady-eyed Minnesota Fats, darts among the shabby little pool sharks like an improbably agile and natty whale; and Gambler Scott looks as though he could sell hot-air heat to the devil.
VarietyMarch 21, 2007The Hustler belongs to that school of screen realism that allows impressive performances but defeats the basic goal of pure entertainment.
Time OutJune 24, 2006A wonderful hymn to the last true era when men of substance played pool with a vengeance.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Under Robert Rossen's strong direction, its ruthless and odorous account of one young hustler's eventual emancipation is positive and alive.
Seanax.comJanuary 13, 2017Paul Newman is cocky poolroom hustler "Fast" Eddie Felson, a swaggering pool shark punk who works his trade in dingy bars and seedy poolrooms, in Robert Rossen's atmospheric adaptation of the Walter Tevis novel.
Scene-Stealers.comJune 20, 2011So much more than the ups and downs of one pool player--It's shot in a very realistic way and deals with inner conflict and what it means to be a man.
Combustible CelluloidMay 20, 2011This is one of Newman's very best films, if not his best, even if it's relentlessly depressing.
Cinema SightApril 11, 2011A raft of excellent performances buoy a fervent tale of weakness and success.
Common Sense MediaDecember 28, 2010Like a traditional morality play; teens and up.
