It's not The Hustler. This is Top Gun/Cocktail/Days of Thunder: Pool edition. Older mentor. Check. Cocky young and talented guy that makes really bad mistakes with both his career and girlfriend. Check. Contemporary music score. Check. Feels like Scorsese said "I wonder how good a movie I can make where I literally put no effort in?" This, my friends, is the answer.

Fantastic follow up. It doesn't quite follow the same themes, but it's interesting enough in its own right, with the mentoring story. The Scorsese direction makes it even more fresh.

They don't make movies or music like this anymore. And that's too bad. Scorsese and Clapton never disappoint

I didn't realize this was a sequel, I will have to go back and watch The Hustler. I thought this was better than a pool movie has any right to be. Paul Newman is great and the old wise guy and Tom Cruise brings a lot of fun energy. The way Scorsese shoots and edits the pool scenes make it faster and more entertaining.

‘The Color of Money’ is a Martin Scorsese film, but it didn’t feel like one. Newman returns as Fast Eddie Felson from 1961’s ‘The Hustler’ 25 years earlier in his career. Fast Eddie had quit pool hustling years ago and opted for a liquor-selling business. That changes when he meets Vincent (Tom Cruise), a young, exuberant pool shark with talent and swagger. Eddie takes Vincent under his wing, teaching him the art of pool hustling. They agree on…
