An Incredible Narrative Experience The fact that God of War still holds up after its release in 2018 speaks volumes about the great work Santa Monica Studio have done with this “not really a reboot but not really a sequel” game.

After reading the synopsis for Hustle, it seemed to resemble that aforementioned snooze-fest so my expectations were low. Thankfully, the movie was far more entertaining than I expected it to be.
