Hustle (1975)
Robert Aldrich directs Burt Reynolds as a police lieutenant in a film that can be summed up as “life sucks and all women are whores”. A teen age girl turns up dead on the beach by some new posh land development, the higher ups do not want it causing a stir but the girl's father does not believe it is a simple suicide. As this is a “neo noir” things are generally pretty dark, corrupt and are unlikely to end well.
While the plot is going on in the back ground Reynold's character is starting to have problems with his girlfriends line of work (an actual whore). I do not think this is the best work of anyone involved really and I am not sure it actually goes anywhere, it may even be slightly misogynistic given that all the female characters turn out to have questionable sexual morals.
On the lower end of a 3/5, not worth looking out.
