"Superbly Shot…Brilliantly Scored…Acted To Near Perfection!" -Newsweek Magazine
Legendary actor Paul Newman (Message In A Bottle) and Academy Award Nominee Tom Cruise (Best Actor, 1996, Jerry Maguire) ignite the screen in this powerful drama. Brilliantly drected by Martin Scorsese (Bringing Out The Dead), Newman re-creates one of his most memorable roles from The Hustler. As Fast Eddie Felson, he still believes that "money won is twice as sweet as money earned." To prove his point, he forms a profitable, yet volatile, partnership with Vince (Cruise), a young pool hustler with a sexy, tough-talking girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, The Perfect Storm). But when Vince's flashy arrogance leads to more than a few lost matches - all bets are off between Eddie and him. The Color Of Money will electrify you with its suspenseful story, dazzling cinematography and dynamic performances.

They coulda done better! - 3 out of 5 (5/10/2000)
"The Color of Money" is a movie less about billiards than it is about people playing other people.
The name of the game is the hustle in this 1986 sequel to the original "Hustler." Paul Newman returns as Fast Eddie Felson. Eddie is still smarting from his defeat at the end of the original movie. Age and fear have taken quite a toll on him. He still lives the life choosing to hustle knock-off alcohol instead of a pool cue. His on-again off-again relationship with Janelle (Helen Shaver) is at

Great movie, good DVD - 3.25 out of 5 (3/14/2000)
If any of you are reading this review and are thinking about seeing The Color of Money for the first time, do yourself a favor and rent The Hustler first, even in pan & scan if you have to, or try to see it in widescreen on TCM. While The Color of Money is good enough to stand on its own and is self-contained, you really understand Paul Newman's character of "Fast" Eddie Felson more by seeing The Hustler. All in all, it is a good movie with good performances by the leads Newman and Cruise and by
