"We have a contract of depravity; all we have to do is pull the blinds down."

Rating: 9/10 (5 December 2019)

A film so packed with talent it's just simpler to let everyone share the bragging rights - Cinematography, direction, screenplay, performances, The Hustler wins at everything. It shoots a great game of pool but ultimately, its victory is owing to its own resolute character.
(Performance highlight: Paul Newman, Piper Laurie, George C. Scott)
