Details

The Color of Money (1986) follows the journey of Fast Eddie Felson, a former pool hustler played by Paul Newman. Eddie now works as a successful liquor salesman but misses the thrill of his old hustling days. One day, he discovers a talented young pool player named Vincent Lauria, portrayed by Tom Cruise. Eddie decides to take Vincent under his wing and teaches him the art of hustling, hoping to mold him in his own image.

As Eddie coaches Vincent, he becomes inspired to make a comeback in the world of pool hustling. He realizes that his own skills may not match Vincent's raw talent, forcing him to reevaluate his approach. Along the way, Eddie encounters various challenges, including personal doubts and rival hustlers. He must find a way to reconcile his own desires for success with the mentorship role he has taken on.

The Color of Money is a gripping drama that explores themes of mentorship, redemption, and self-discovery. Directed by Martin Scorsese, this film is a sequel to the 1961 classic The Hustler. Newman delivers a compelling performance as the experienced Eddie, while Cruise shines as the arrogant yet gifted Vincent. With its intense pool matches, dynamic characters, and Scorsese's signature style, The Color of Money is a must-watch for fans of character-driven dramas.
