I really liked this movie for a lot of reasons. If you like pool you will love this one. I like the fact that paul newman is in it. With the recent passing of Paul Newman this is gonna be a good buy.

Paul Newman = Awesome. Tom Cruise = Nearly as Awesome. Together = A pretty great acting combo. However, the story just didn't pull me in. Why should I care about Cruise's character when his ultimate goal is swindling others? And that goes double for Newman. Not bad, but nothing particularly special. It does make me want to learn 9-ball, though. (P.S. I have never seen the Hustler, so that may have affecting my viewing experience)

You need to see "The Hustler" first because this sequel really builds on that movie, and a lot of deceptively small moments will mean a whole lot more if you've seen "The Hustler." Scorsese does a great job with this picture: the pool sequences are a tour-de-force, especially when the camera circles the table, but equally impressive is how he handles the actors. Cruise makes a huge leap from his previous pictures, Newman is excellent revisiting his best role (albeit at an older age), and Mastrantonio gives possibly the picture's best performance. It may not be Scorsese or Newman's best, nor better than "The Hustler," but it's still a solid picture.
