This movie is incredible. Paul Newman gives a stunning preformance.
Or as I like to call it, a thousand and one ways to film the game of pool.
Great filmmaking, good performances all around, and some amazing photography of the pool scenes.
If anyone has the right to make a sequel to The Hustler, it's Martin Scorsese.
Near excellent sequel to "The Hustler" Common sense dictates that one should never attempt to make a sequel to a well-regarded classic film, but director Scorsese defies the odds and manages to create one of the few sequels to a great movie that actually works.

Tho Newman reprises his role of Fast Eddie and is still as cool as they come, Cruise ruins this movie. This sould have been more about Newman and less about a not so well known Cruise.
Who makes a sequel after 25 years? Not a bad film, but not in the same league as The Hustler.
The story is pretty average but the chemistry between Newman and Cruise as mentor and disciple is so fantastic.
One of Scorsese's misfires sees Paul Newman reprise his Hustlert role in this pool rites of passage drama with an upstart Mr Cruise trying to prove he is the best.
Love This Sequel To The Great Film "The Hustler".. Paul Newman Plays His Role Again As Eddie Felson With Quality And Tom Cruise Is Also Great In This
Amazing film, both Newman & Cruise do own trick shots apart from the Masse.
