Additional InformationMartin Scorsese's THE COLOUR OF MONEY picks up where Robert Rossen's 1961 film THE HUSTLER left off. Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman), now middle-aged, finds the image of his youthful self in a pool hustler named Vincent Lauria (Tom Cruise). Trying to relive his past days of glory through the cocky but inexperienced youngster, Fast Eddie takes on the role of Vincent's manager and mentor. But Fast Eddie didn't count on having to contend with Vincent's smart, sexy, and extremely ambitious girlfriend. The three characters become engaged in an emotionally complicated power struggle as they make their way to Atlantic City, where Vincent plans to compete in his first pool tournament.<BR>Scorsese's, as well as Newman's, love for the character of Fast Eddie shines through in every frame of this sequel, something that didn't go unnoticed by the academy (earning Newman the Best Actor Oscar). Playing the young upstart, Cruise steps up to Newman's challenge, delivering an energetic performance that cemented his place at the top of the young Hollywood elite. Robbie Robertson's bluesy score reflects the smoky interiors of the various pool halls that Fast Eddie and Vincent haunt, adding another layer of moodiness to the already stylish proceedings.
ReviewsTime Magazine - We are not on Rocky's side of the street, but in Martin Scorsese country, where bent character, not sentiment, shapes destiny, and the best the struggling human spirit can hope for is a split decision., Time Out - Scorsese's direction at its most downmarket and upbeat -- never have pool tables, balls and cues looked so rich and strange., New York Times - Included in the New York Times "10 BEST FILMS OF 1986", Sight and Sound - ...THE COLOR OF MONEY is an exciting brilliantly filmed coda to THE HUSTLER..., Variety - ...A keenly observed and immaculately crafted vision of the raw side of life....A distinctive pulse of its own with exceptional performances by Paul Newman and Tom Cruise...

    the color of money

    Great movie, all about a man's sharp eye for talent n a get rich quick idea for himself to hit the big time again by teaching all the scams to an upstart who's coming through the ranks, all set in the seedy world of 9 ball pool hustlers. Teach what you know, never teach all you know. X!)

    no, not good as the so called background music takes away from the actors, etc.

    The movie is good, however, the so called background music, etc., is so loud that you can barely hear the actors. Terrible.
