Hustle (2022) | Ratings & Reviews

Hustle proves Adam Sandler is the perfect man to convincingly bridge the gap between a Hollywood movie and the real NBA, with gorgeously captured b-ball scenes and a taut, funny script.

"Its compelling character drive and exhilarating technical craftsmanship more than make up for its narrative familiarity..."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"A sincere and successful celebration of the game that never takes its eye off the prize."

South China Morning PostSouth China Morning Post

"This is a glossy piece of Netflix content, but it relies very heavily on NBA fan buy-in for the drama fully to work..."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Sandler plays Stanley with an inner sadness, a blend of weariness and resilience, and a stubborn faith in the game that leaves you moved, stoked, and utterly convinced."

VarietyVariety

"There’s a depth of feeling and a disarming sincerity to the movie that keeps you watching."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Sweet, kinetic sports drama..."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"There aren’t really any characters, it’s kind of remarkable... it simply populates the screen with people, some of whom occasionally say things."

Chicago TribuneChicago Tribune

"Sandler is an engaging lead and the film bounces along enjoyably."

Daily MailDaily Mail

"Hustle manages to get by on charm and style, and reminds us again that Sandler has range."

Slash FilmSlash Film

"That’s exactly why Hustle works so well. It’s a 117-minute blanket of comfort that delivers precisely what you want to see from an underdog sports story, and never tries too hard to be anything else."

We Got This CoveredWe Got This Covered

"Slick, smart but formulaic basketball drama..."

The TimesThe Times

"A stirring redemption saga..."

IndieWireIndieWire

"The soft downside of Hustle is that it's unnervingly conventional... but in the end it's still an effective, traditional underdog movie that hits all the right notes."

IGNIGN

"Little more than a mediocre showcase of NBA talent..."

Film School RejectsFilm School Rejects

"Adam Sandler's underdog tale is bogged down by sports clichés..."
