Men proving their worth to other men is always a fascinating subject for me. Throw in talent and drive, unstable romance, and the criminal underworld and you get a marvelous story. The Hustler is fun to watch, imagine, and think about. Arguably one of Paul Newman's best roles, Fast Eddie is troubled and talented, full of himself and lacking self worth, strong and weak. These flawed but larger than life characters make the film timeless.
