The movie Hustle, released in 2022, has gained significant relevance on Netflix, being recognized as one of the best original productions by Adam Sandler on the platform. Focused on a talent scout who discovers a promising player, played by Juancho Hernangómez, Hustle has managed to impress both critics and audiences, standing out in viewership metrics much more than some of the actor’s other works.
A movie that has remained stable on Netflix and Rotten Tomatoes
Since its release, Hustle remained in the TOP 10 of Netflix for six weeks, holding the number one spot for two weeks. Its success has not only been measured by the number of views but also by the ratings it has received. With a remarkable 94% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it is Sandler’s highest-rated film, surpassing acclaimed titles like The Meyerowitz Stories and Uncut Gems. Additionally, it received a 93% approval rating from the audience, highlighting its strong reception among viewers.
In comparison, his film Punch-Drunk Love, considered one of the best in his career, only has a 79% approval rating, which places Hustle in a privileged position within his filmography. Additionally, the most recent sequel to Terminagolf, which has generated significant attention after its release, is also rated better than other Sandler productions, but it does not reach the critical acclaim of Hustle.
The relevance of “Garra” in Sandler’s career remains strong, and it continues to be a benchmark for his future productions on Netflix, potentially marking a new direction in his cinematic approach in the context of sports dramas.
