Good movie, but horrible sequel.
The Color of Money Reviews and Ratings

September 27, 2009The sequel to the Hustler where Eddie is now much older. instead of playing pool, he is the guy funding it. If you like Tom cruise you will like this movie, if you don't like Tom Cruise, you will still like this movie because he acts like a moron pretty much the whole time. All a...( read more)

September 24, 2009Scorsese, fantastic! Newman, awesome! Cruise, not so good! I try very hard not to think of this as a sequel to The Hustler, I wish it wasn?t. It was a little ordatious and arrogant of Scorsese really!
-
September 2, 2009Not just about the game of pool but about the life of becoming a hustler.

August 18, 2009what a surprise !
considering how many talents involves (scorsese,newman,cruise,and don't forget turturro and whitaker,in a small role),i didn't expect this to be that..MONOTONE -

August 10, 2009Your afternoon will be hardly "misspent" if you watch this enjoyable film, then "rack 'em up" again and watch the even better "The Hustler".
-
July 22, 2009Its story is entertaining, interesting and full of surprises on several levels. At its simplest, it's a kind of a "Karate Kid" of the pool halls. Digging deeper, though, you'll find a morality play about innocence, experience, corruption and redemption. And a case study of the me...( read more)

July 16, 2009well if it wasn't scorsese's film, i'd love to give this film 4 stars or even maybe more, because this is a pretty enjoyable movie with superb performance by paul newman and quite good job done by young tom cruise.,
-
June 13, 2009I think I may have a soft spot for films like these - showing America at night with pop/rock music in the background, thus creating a soothing romantic atmosphere. But it's also nice to see Eddie Felson is doing all right after all these years - in an equally captivating story (b...( read more)

April 14, 2009The first half of this movie oozes cool. The set up is so great because you know Fast Eddie and you are automatically hooked. Paul Newman is brilliant giving us another chapter in the life of a legendary character. And to see Tom Cruise in all his dumb guy, cocky asshole glory is...( read more)

March 6, 2009Really dissapointing to see Newman win the Oscar for his role in this film when he had so many other memorable roles that went un-awarded by the academy but never-the-less much deserved as he brings this movie to its full form, and brings back a character that is very memorable.

February 10, 2009this movie dissapointed me, the acting was ok and scoseses directing was good, i was suprised to find that i found some of scrseses directing choices to be unnessary and i am a huge scorsese fan, i loved the pool shots he did but the character shots he did felt were unnessary. t...( read more)

February 1, 2009Young Tom Cruise all giddy with smiles and a pool stick to do ninja wif. Newman is the movie who tries to shake off the rust from years out of the pool game since 1960's The Hustler, which was an interesting transition. Cool but not exciting.
-
January 31, 2009Pretty cool pretty coo pretty koo pretty kewl pretty kool. Lazy Eye Forrest Whitaker was ballin and hustlin.
-
January 19, 2009pretty good movie but kinda slow and long, not much action. I was hoping it would be better.
-
January 17, 2009I saw this again...20 some odd years later last night. Well worth the watch. Who's voice at the beginning descibes 9 ball??? No looking it up!!!!!!!
-
December 30, 2008It has its momemts, but only a few. Could be Scorsese's worst work.
Sorry, but 8-Ball just doesn't do it for me. -

December 3, 2008This a good film. Tom Cruise and Paul Newman give stellar performances. If your a pool junkie then you will like this film. The story is decent and has a good supporting cast.
-
December 1, 2008I'm probably one of 23 people on the entire planet who didn't like The Hustler and its sequel, The Color of Money wasn't worlds better. Paul Newman was great and Tom Cruise generally makes you want to slap him with the exception of a few scenes. That Forest Whitaker scene was kin...( read more)
-
December 1, 2008The story of an aged pool-hustler (Newman) who finds a talented younger version of himself (Cruise) and takes him under his wing. The story is a bit conventional but Scorsese has some good set-pieces and his direction gives it a flashy edge. The pool scenes are extravagant with S...( read more)

October 17, 2008I don't know why some critics like Roger Ebert found this follow up to the Hustler to be disappointing. To me, this is a flawless film with Newman in top form. He was only nominated for the Hustler, he actually won an Oscar for the Color of Money.
Tom Cruise isn't bad here...( read more) -
October 15, 2008Cruise and Newman are masters and while the relationship between the two was a little iffy and confusing, it was a good movie nonetheless.

October 12, 2008this is an excellent film. the story was very interesting and its easy to invest in the characters. this semi-sequel wasnt quite as good as the hustler, but it did flow a little better. newmans performance was better in the original, but he was very good in this one and deserv...( read more)

September 28, 2008it a very good movie paul newmann is just the best actor of this film.Tom cruise is playing a young asshole and it deal about pool money and passion.
-
September 27, 2008Newman just dominates this flik...as he should. Never liked TC. This movie just plays out his natural disgusting persona. Good story, great acting, great pace.

August 16, 2008This is an underrated Scorsese film. Newman and Cruise work well together here. The supporting cast also does some interesting work. Newman deserved the Oscar for this but it should have been his 4th or 5th Oscar. This movie left me wanting more.

July 12, 2008Ce n'est certes pas réellement un Scorsese auquel on est habitués, mais on reconnaît tout de même quelques lignes directrices qui collent bien au style du réalisateur. Cruise et Newman s'échangent la balle dans ce thriller sportif qui s'avère franchement divertissant et même rafr...( read more)
