The Color of Money
) 
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
The "Hustler" is not what he used to be. "Fast" Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) has given up pool for life and makes his money selling liquor now. But then
he meets Vincent (Tom Cruise), a cocky natural who makes a cue ball crack like
a lightning bolt. Eddie takes Vincent under his wing and on the road to show
him how to "hustle" the competition out of money and reach the big leagues of
pool. However, Vincent is just beyond teaching, and can not "set up" his marks
by blowing games or taking verbal jabs given by his opponents. Newman and Cruise can not make it as a team, so they split up and Newman decides to try
pool again himself. Then the meet as competitors in a big pool World Series
type of game in Atlantic City. A great movie that you will enjoy, great acting by all actors and actresses and excellent pool shooting that you will
enjoy seeing. Definitely worth buying and keeping to be exact as you will want to watch it over and over.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our BEST DEALS ON NEW DVDs1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
FIRST OF ALL THE COLLAR OF MONEY IS ONE OF THE BEST BILLIARDS MOVIES OUT THERE WITH TOM CRUISE AND JACKIE GLEASON. GREAT POOL SHOOTING SKILLS AND A BETTER STORY BEHIND IT. THEN WHEN YOU CAN GET SUCH A GREAT MOVIE AT EVEN A BETTER PRICE WITH A VERRY REASONABLE SHIPPING FREE. YOU END UP WITH A GREAT NEW MOVIE FOR ABOUT THE SAME PRICE TO RENT IT FOR A DAY OR TWO BUT NOW YOU CAN KEEP IT AND ENJOY TIME AFTER TIME.

This movie is one of Tom Cruises best ones. He is so young in this movie. If you like the Hustler you will love this movie. I would recommend it to anyone that likes or loves pool.

5 star movie!Review created: 03/02/07

It takes place on the east coast + it features Newman and a young Tom Cruise. Great movie about being behind the 8 and 9 ball. Buy this now. Its a true 80s classic that gets hardly any recognition. Newman makes a comeback in pool at the end, but initially, he mentors Tom Cruise. Great flick. Buy it now!

I really can't believe that you are reading this review. You mean to tell me that you are a billiards player and you don't already own a copy of this movie??? This is by far the best movie about the game that has ever been produced. This movie is to pool, what caddyshack is to golf. Ok, just stop reading this - AND BUY THE MOVIE !!! You will love it.

Uninspired Sequel
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
THE HUSTLER is a classic without equal. This sequel suffers by comparison. The original is superior in every way. I like many of Tom Cruise's pictures but not this one. The story is unoriginal and uninspiring. The characters are shallow. The "drama" is weak. Other than that, it's not too bad. If you want to see a GREAT film about pool hustling, with compelling performances by Paul Newman, George C. Scott, Jackie Gleason, and Piper Laurie, buy THE HUSTLER. You'll get more enjoyment for your money.

AppropriateLoved the story, and Paul Newman is just a tremendous actor. Only drawback is some bad language and some nudity.

Everyone is more familiar with this movie than The Hustler - the prequel to this movie. This is a great movie and it easily lives up to all the stories you've heard about it. This was the first great pool movie and will probably always be the best!

one of my favorites!!!well ppl...I know this movie is older,but still to this day theres no other pool movie thats even in the same league as this one...this movie was well choreographed and the movie really makes u feel what its like to be in the pool hustling business...maybe because I have played pool all my life and absolutely love it affected my reaction to word it like I did,but more than likely if you're looking at this movie you're a pool fan too...if you are DEFINATELY BUY THIS MOVIE if you have never seen it...has some really cool trick shots too..its very straight forward about lessons in life that you learn while 'hustling' ...its one of my all time favorite movies and even if you're not a big fan of pool...this movie may make you look at it in a whole different light!! Paul Newman is very inspiring in this movie as he battles the loss of good vision because of his age in this sequel to "The Hustler" with Jackie Gleason ..in my opinion The Hustler was great too...but The Color of Money is a new age type movie with things you may see out there today..overall its 2 thumbs WAY up in my book..hope you enjoy this movie 1/2 as much as I have!!!!
