Hustle: O Grande Salto

Sports stories have already been quite a lot, but it looks like there is never enough of them for you to get tired of them. Moreover, here is civilian Adam Sandler in the main role, who is always great in this respect, and it is all aimed at NBA fans, with even a non-fan finding a couple of nicely crafted life dramas.

Loved it. Adam Sandler has matured and as most actors stagnate in their old age (Willis and co), he is having a decent acting heyday. I like these zero to hero motivational sports stories, so far none have outright pissed me off, and since they really only come around once a year I appreciate the present qualities enough. The storyline isn't surprising, but that doesn't matter at all. The film has heart, drive, decent dialogue, a charismatic cast, emotion, tension, power, energy, motivation, humour, great music and thrilling matches (especially with the central rival, he was a proper son of a bitch)There are few wisecracks that will stick in my memory, and overall it is a very enjoyable film (basketball fans will be ready for one more star). 8/10.
