    The Hustler (1961)

    Pool is such a cool game, isn’t it? Especially in movies; it’s portrayed to be way more badass than hitting balls with a stick really is. Anyway, that’s what this film is about: a guy who wants to beat the best pool players in the country. The film definitely had a cool, charming air to it. Paul Newman is great here, like always, and the rest of the cast are good too. It was much more dark and bleak than I was expecting. It dragged a little in the middle, but overall I thought it was a pretty solid film which felt very much of its time.
