  Hustle 2022

  ★★★½ Watched by thejaminbean 29 Jun 2022

  A by-the-numbers sports movie helped immensely by Sandler's infectious love of the game. His performance really grounds this thing. It looks and feels like an actual film compared to other Netflix dreck, which is really nice for a change. Bo Cruz is a great character played well by Utah Jazz star, Juancho Hernangomez. Pretty fun that almost everyone in this movie is from the NBA!

Emotional, intense and uproariously funny.

  DiCaprio hasn't been this good anywhere else but The Wolf of Wall Street and Pitt hasn't been this good... ever? Their friendship feels…
