Review:

Directed by and starring Buck Adams, The Hustlers is loosely based on the Walter Tevis classic about a pool player determined to win respect, fortune and love in a winner-take-all match with the local Fat Cat. Fast Freddie (Adams), long-time hustler and loser is about to get his big break, but at a price he couldn't imagine. Starring in her final role before her tragic suicide, Savannah plays Laura, the tough, sweet lost love Freddie returns to reclaim, along with his dignity, when he wanders into town after a few years playing on the road. Freddie promises to give up the hustle for her, but only after he makes this one last score against L. A. Money (Ron Jeremy).

The sex scenes are placed well into this story and never appear forced. The threesome mix of Brittany O'Connell, Diva and Dan Steele does not offer much, but is a nice teaser for scenes to follow. And although Adams is the central focus of the story, he appears in only one beautiful love scene with Savannah. Full of affectionate caresses and with long, languid shots of Savannah's perfect figure, this scene merits a rewind or two. Rebecca Wild does great work with Tony Martino in a scene that is entirely oral. Ron Jeremy attempts the difficult job of administering to Wild, Shane, and O'Connell in a mildly uninteresting bit near the end of the film. The final scene is truly of note, however. In one of the only remotely believable girl-girl scenes ever done, Diva and Victoria Gold bring out something extremely enticing in Savannah (as if she needed help) that fans of the genre are absolutely going to love.

Noticeably lacking is the tacky, single-set staging and raunchy, gynecological nature of an overwhelming number of films, The Hustlers is perfect boy-girl couple fare. There are lots of full body shots, a sensual playfulness among the actors and a level of subtlety to this film that make it ideal for home viewing.
