फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
After I saw this TV movie about Pete Rose, I was kind of skeptical until I watched a discussion afterwords with people who knew Pete Rose. They said, and after thinking about it I agree, this movie captures Rose's gambling problem accurately. The actors did a fine job with their roles and you could tell there was a lot of research that went into the making of this film. I'm glad he did finally admit he bet on baseball, including the Reds, and I think he should be in the Hall Of Fame for what he did as a player. Weather you like Pete Rose or not, the point of this movie, I think, was to portray his gambling addiction. I do wish they would have focused on John Dowds report more because that was the main reason Rose was kicked out of the game for life. Like him or not, this film brings out a side of Pete Rose not too many people know and it's about time some of the truth of his life was displayed. This film, for me, does that.
The naked facts of Pete Rose's life would seem to be the stuff that
even an imaginative writer might have trouble coming up with:
major league baseball's all-time hits leader, a hometown boy who
became a hometown AND national sports hero, a player who
became an American icon for determination, grit and the
embodiment of willpower.
Then, for the traditional tragedy lover in all of us, comes the fall....a
tumble from living legend, to a man in public and possibly
personal denial, finally ending for Rose banned from baseball a
convicted tax cheat and weepy self-confessed gambler.
Unfortunately, "Hustle" seems to have missed every chance to
extract even a scintilla of pathos from Rose's life, instead
concentrating on a thin portrayal of the sordid events stemming
from his gambling addiction. Whether inside Pete Rose there's a
really a significant inner person worthy of close examination is a
good question, but it's a question that "Hustle" never even gets a
sniff of.
A miscast Sizemore and a way past prime Bogdonavich together
fail to create a single genuine moment.

This has to be one of the worst movies ever put on film. 1) Tom Sizemore doesn't even look anything the Pete Rose. He looked as bad as a good SNL skit. 2) Let me get this straight, according to the movie, Pete Rose a 5 foot 8 200 pound soaked and wet, was able to push around the bookies, the mob, Major League Baseball, and a bodybuilder.
Now I know Pete Rose has come out and admitted he bet on baseball...duh...no one is disputing that, but the way it is shown in this film, it made you think ESPN had some sort of grudge against Pete Rose. Michael Moore gave President Bush more leeway.
Unfortunately you cannot give anything lower than a 1 or else I would give is a -4256 (That is Pete's all time hit total)

This is a must-see movie in should be a much better rating for this movie as Tom Sizemore does an awesome job acting in this movie and it holds your interest I almost gave it a 10 out of 10.
As other users have said Sizemore was nothing more than a "Jay Leno impersonation" of Rose - only the haircut even remotely resembled the real Pete Rose. Moreover, Dash Mihok (who portrayed Paul Janszen) looked more like the real Rose. But casting error aside, the movie was genuine to its subject matter.
"Hustle" was an apt name playing off Rose's nickname "Charlie Hustle" in order to reference his gambling habits. Anyone who says the movie lacked because it didn't revere Rose for his baseball accomplishments is missing the point. The movie was about latter-life Pete Rose the gambler, not a biopic in general on the "greatest thing to ever happen to Cincinatti." Also, some criticize the film for not exploring avenues of Rose's colleagues; however, while Eric Davis was a background character and other famous Reds were mentioned, said colleagues' consent is required to have their likenesses and views to be used.
Furthermore, not even Rose himself confessed to his illegitimate activities until the beginning of this year.Before making any criticism, viewers should research.
As for the story itself, the one problem I noted was that the screenplay couldn't clearly delineate who was the protagonist. While Rose was clearly meant to be the 'villain,' focus and sympathy shifted between him and Janszen so much so that near the end, the movie may have been more appropriately entitled "Paul Janszen." Of course, ESPN would NOT have been able to sell that.

क्या आपको पता है
- गूफ़In the scene immediately after Pete Rose and Paul Janszen meet, a televised baseball game contains an advertisement for "HurricaneSports.com" -- definitely out of place in the pre-Internet 1980s.
