HUSTLE (Video Release World-Wide 2022)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì 

Hustle—outstanding sports film—has gutsy-ness as its center core. Adam Sandler steps outside his usual comedic role to play the role of headhunter for the 76ers Basketball team in Philadelphia and gives a WOW! performance that provides a deep look at the complex lifestyle of basketball scouts. Watch for the terrific performances of Juancho Hernangomez, Queen Latifah, Ben Foster, Jordan Hull, and Robert Duvall. Don’t miss this film. It’s a terrific watch that shows fighting spirit. It completely deserves addition to the home video library and can easily be watched several times through the years. Bravo!
