Good film about a basketball scout who bets everything on an unknown player from abroad. The course is somewhat predictable (inherent in most sports movies), but the characters are well portrayed and the basketball scenes look excellent. There is also a good dynamic between Adam Sandler and basketball player/debuting actor Juancho Hernangomez. Easily 3.5 stars.

Of course great to see that the cast consists largely of "real" (former) NBA players. Just makes the movie that little bit more fun. Hernangomez first of course. The chemistry with Sandler is more than good. Very good role from Uncle Adam. Keep thinking he's a nice guy that old one is ugly. Great played. Am a (small) fan of the game myself, been to the LA Lakers at the Staples Center a few times, so I know the vibe. And yes, fair is fair; those Americans are just so good at making sports movies. Predictable, cliche, but so much passion and fun. They also do it with this 'Hustle' again. Excellent entertainment.

Sandler once again shows that he is a great actor as long as he gets good roles that suit him and the bland comedy is left out. He also carries this film quite effortlessly, although the film kind of sinks towards the end. Then this suddenly becomes Hollywood in structure and content, while before that the film was so finely focused on atmosphere and characters. The film also feels more and more like a clone; somehow this print was reminiscent of Rocky but with basketball. The love for the sport is splashing and for a long time this is just fine viewing food, but the last half hour simply doesn't interest you anymore. 3.0*.
