Movies like The Longshot

The Sting is a classic con-artist film set in the 1930s. Its clever plot twists and charismatic performances by Robert Redford and Paul Newman make it a must-watch for those who enjoy comedy-dramas with a focus on high-stakes scheming like in The Longshot.

The sequel to The Hustler, The Color of Money follows an aging pool shark. The themes of risk and reward, as well as the mentor-mentee dynamic, resonate with the appeal of The Longshot.

This film delves into the world of sports betting with Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey in the lead roles. The intensity and unpredictability of the gambling scene draw parallels to the thematic elements present in The Longshot.

Philip Seymour Hoffman stars in this true story of a bank manager embezzling money to feed his gambling addiction. Like The Longshot, Owning Mahowny showcases the darker and more dramatic side of the gambling world.
