ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Robert Aldrich’s (WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE, THE DIRTY DOZEN, KISS ME DEADLY) murder-mystery HUSTLE covers two parallel investigations on the sudden death of a call-girl – one investigation from an LA cop, played by Burt Reynolds (BOOGIE NIGHTS, SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT, DELIVERANCE), and the victim’s father, played by Ben Johnson (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, THE WILD BUNCH, THE GETAWAY). The twists and turns of HUSTLE will keep you begging the question: whodunnit?

SYNOPSIS

Phil Gaines is a bitter, cynical cop who investigates the case of a dead stripper/porno actress found on the beach. Gaines is experiencing a troubled relationship with a hooker, and things don’t get any better when the dead girl’s father launches his own investigation.
