The Color of Money

Paul Newman gives an Oscar-winning performance in this rapid-fire drama, reprising his acclaimed role in 1961 effort The Hustler as anti-hero Fast Eddie Felson. An encounter with cocky pool player Vincent (Tom Cruise) rekindles Eddie's passion for the game, and he sets about moulding the younger man into the kind of hustler he used to be. But while Vincent slowly immerses himself in the seedier aspects of the game, Eddie begins to discover something of himself in his protege - and he doesn't like what he sees. Martin Scorsese brings his trademark visual style to this sharp-scripted sequel. Also starring Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, John Turturro and Forest Whitaker
