The body of teenager Gloria Bollinger (Sharon Kelly) is found dead on a Los Angeles beach, and Lt. Phil Gaines (Burt Reynolds) is in charge of the investigation. Gaines learns that the girl, a stripper and prostitute, committed suicide, but he ignores the connection between her and a powerful mob lawyer, Leo Sellers (Eddie Albert). Bollinger's father (Ben Johnson), however, is not satisfied with Gaines's results, and attempts to investigate the case on his own.

Hustle is the right title for this attack on materialism, which is full of plugs for products.

2/4

The film’s structure is interesting in theory -- it’s a murder-mystery where there may have been no murder and thus no mystery -- but there's nothing fresh to replace the expected genre trappings.

After seeing Lucky Lady and now Hustle, I'm convinced that The Longest Yard was a fluke.

The director's talent is evident in his lively and precise way of telling the story and the excellent work of the actors. [Full Review in Spanish]

A-

Robert Aldrich's Hustle is an honest and profoundly sad movie about how the legal system favors those with money, power and connections over those who don't. One of Burt's best and most underrated films.

Thirty years on, however, its integrity and patience look positively masterful.
