## Description

Martin Scorsese directs this sequel to 'The Hustler'. Old-time poolsharp Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) has quit the game, but still acts as an unofficial agent for up and coming hustlers. One such is the young, precocious but talented Vincent Lauria (Tom Cruise), who has a hard time accepting Eddie's advice that he should sometimes throw games in order to soften up an opponent. The pair fall out and go their separate ways, but not before Eddie has been inspired to pick up the pool cue once more.

Review: Inspiring - I saw this film for the first time in 2013 some 26 years after it was released in cinemas. I thought that the film was outstanding in every department. The recreation of pool halls and bars took me into another world and the music behind these scenes just adds to these ultra-realistic and yet somehow fantastical settings. With regards to the plot, as a great fan of sports movies which delve into the profound psychology of the sportsman, I found it incredible. At times it comes close to predictable and cheesy, as many sports films have done before, but I feel that Scorsese's touch adds a compelling realism to the story and as many sports fans will know, it is the unpredictable that is the most predictable; the twist at the end makes for a beautiful anti-climax to an otherwise formulaic tournament. The acting throughout captures the imagination of anyone who has played 'games' at any level. Tom Cruise's character is fresh faced and excitable and makes you feel like 9-Ball pool could be a great game to play. However, Paul Newman's character is slightly more cynical about the game, suggesting to Cruise's girlfriend that it is a game which could make them a lot of money. However, this cynicism somehow further romanticises the game. Perhaps it is the enticing nature of Newman's character which compels us to cling on to his every word, as the young and naive Cruise appears to do. Newman is slick and fast and really shows his skill as an actor through his role. Cruise appears to be outdone by Newman's experience but it soon becomes apparent that any naivety that Cruise shows is part of his character. Later on in the film, the charm of Newman's character wares thin and we begin to see him for what he really is and what the sport can do to him. He is guilty of everything that he accuses Cruise of being. For me that is the beauty of the film. It is formulaic in its approach to a sports film and it captures the relationship between a teacher and a protege with a finesse which is the result of a great director and a great cast. This film will make you want to play 9-Ball pool just like Tom Cruise and to talk to people with the sharpness and wit of Paul Newman.
Review: Very good! - Happy with it.

Happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A minor Scorsese, sometimes and somehow more worthy than the major one
*by E***I on 27 April 2014*

A minor Scorsese, sometimes and somehow more worthy than the major one. Brilliant, ahead of his times, brilliant and interesting while he seems he's just entertaining you. That's what I realized after watching all his filmography: sometimes he's at his best when he doesn't start with the purpose of telking you big stories and revealing you big truth about life and death, as in some of his main movies. This one (as well as After Hours, good fellas, Shutter Island, etc...) turns out to be more precious than some of his most renowned films. The blu ray quality is sometimes not so stunning, bit it's far better than some other reviews let you think
