4 stars out of 4 -- [A] powerful character study of a man at war with himself, wrestling win back his self-respect.
Uncut
The Hustler belongs to that school of screen realism that allows impressive performances but defeats the basic goal of pure entertainment.

A raft of excellent performances buoy a fervent tale of weakness and success.

Cinema Sight
5 stars out of 5 -- THE HUSTLER marks the birth of an anti-hero in Newman, and is a dazzling, provocative and seminal piece of American cinema.
Ultimate DVD
This is one of Newman's very best films, if not his best, even if it's relentlessly depressing.

Combustible Celluloid
...Shot with virtuoso pace, the tussles between Eddie and Minnesota Fats are superb...
Total Film
Newman gives a restrained, modulated performance, an unusual one in that character development is sought and achieved with utilization only of voice, gesture, intensity.

Product Description:
An arrogant and amoral hustler haunts pool rooms to get a crack at bringing down Minnesota Fats. When he starts to have real feelings for a woman, he's faced with a dilemma. See THE COLOR OF MONEY, an excellent sequel made 25 years later, for which Newman won Best Actor. Academy Award Nominations: 9, including Best Picture; Best Director; Best Actor, Paul Newman; Best Adapted Screenplay.
