The Hustler - Limited Edition Steelbook [Blu-ray] [2017]

I've watched the film twice since I bought the bluray, because firstly its a great film anyway, and secondly on bluray it looks stunning. The black and white photography looks like it was filmed yesterday rather than 52 years ago.The cast are superb with Paul Newman and the leading actress (whose name escapes me) giving great performances, ably supported by George C Scott who plays the agent/promotor/manager. As somebody else in another review said the film isn't really about Pool. In fact large chunks of it are in the realm of kitchen sink drama, and thats no bad thing as it contrasts starkly with the Pool room scenes.The film is in 2.35:1 ratio and the extras, which I watched some months ago are pretty good. But the main reason to get this is the bluray transfer, which, for a film of this age is one of the best I've seen.

Just as I expected, excellent film 😄🎥

I play a lot of pool and I love this movie. It was Newman's premier performance and he just nails the character of Fast Eddie". What a way to start a career. Jackie Gleason and George C. Scott play awesome parts and make it all real. Excellent story and superior acting from everyone.

Good

Good film with a great cast good story one of the many good films the late Paul Newman made.

This is one of the great films; it was 50 years ago and it is even more so now. The content, the actors, and the production are all first rate. And, there is not on CGI shot in the piece. Just good drama.

A nice film for those who like old fashioned cinema

Scott is marvelous
