Saw Sandler in a beard and thought it was an Uncut Gem sequel.

Saw Sandler in a beard and thought it was an Uncut Gem sequel.

I thought the exact same thing honestly. Even with the title, Hustle sounded like an Uncut Gems sequel.

I think this looks quite solid though. I'm quite liking Sandler getting more serious roles and showing what he can do.

This looks amazing, I've always been interested in the world of scouts. They really are people you never really hear about that are crucial in the process. Just imagine the amount of people that never got that break, who were never discovered. This has elements of the movie Blue Chips, and a League of Their Own. This will be a definite watch for me.

Sandler showing what he can do, I've always liked him so I'm glad to see him taking better roles to showcase it. He was so good in Uncut Gems and his performance here looks pretty grounded and realistic. Trailers make it look like it has a good blend of comedic and serious moments.

For the longest time, he was basically one of the actors I watched a lot of movies just because his name was attached. Like a lot of his earlier stuff.
