Charlie Hustle & the Matter of Pete Rose | agoodmovietowatch

Fans will love diving into this four-part documentary about former Major League Baseball player Pete Ross, especially since Rose dictates how the series goes. Director Mark Monroe gives Rose plenty of space to wax poetic about his dismissal from the MLB after a major gambling scandal and offers very few opposing voices to make this doc truly objective. It also has no business being this long; much of the documentary consists of a standard lookback into his career and recycled accounts of the scandal, which could be condensed into a half-hour. Rose is most interesting as his present, 83-year-old self: a fascinating if entitled character who believes deep down he’s done nothing wrong.
