An ESPN Original Movie about the true story of hit king Pete
Rose and the allegations brought against him about betting
on baseball. Nicknamed "Charlie Hustle" for his
play on the field, Rose took that same aggressive reputation
off the field which ultimately led to lifetime banishment
from the game he loved.
"Although I am not much of a Pete Rose fan, this film kept my interest.
Tom Sizemore played a great Rose and the surrounding cast seemed
to be right on. I was disappointed that there was almost no actual
baseball being played in the film. However, ESPN did reproduce
these true events without over-dramatizing it. Hustle makes my Top
25 Baseball Movies List. The bonus features on the DVD are interesting
as it has a few interviews with Rose and Bart Giamatti's press conference
in 1989 banning Rose from baseball." -- Jason of Baseballmovie.com
