Critic Reviews

Marjorie Baumgarten

Hustle is a great modern love story disguised as a neo-noir police procedural. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Remarkable contemporary film noir that cuts the dirt and corruption of Los Angeles with a strain of allusions to (and, in the case of Reynolds' cop, illusions of) European romance. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Hustle is one of the few examples of true modern film noir. But director and screenwriter cannot resolve their different approaches. The script's humanistic, if depressing, angle gets battered by Aldrich's approach. An interesting mixed bag. Read full review

Dave Kehr

The sinister mise-en-scene is compromised only by a few overripe lines from screenwriter Steve Shagan, and Reynolds reveals himself as an actor of depth and complexity. Read full review

Roger Ebert

It's a movie about characters, primarily. It cares more about getting inside these people than it does about solving its crime. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

The film’s drawbacks are simply a lack of some restraint, since otherwise all the elements are present for a sensational, hardhitting human story. Read full review
