Blu B A Classic Sports Drama. It's crazy back in the 80's we were doing sequels 20+ years later even than. (And Cruise was involved in it to. How crazy is that.) But great news, it's really good and deserves to stand with the original. Newman is awesome and so cool in this returning to form as a seasoned Fast Eddie. This really shares almost no continuity with the original besides Newman returning. You can easily watch this and not know anything about the first. A testament also how well made it is. Everyone else is really good especially Mastrantonio. Dialouge is great too. Fantastic direction by Scorese as well. Cinematography is amazing and really immerses you in the world of Pool Halls and hustling. The music is the best thing...dear god it's so laid back, cool, 80's and memorable. Everything else is really well done. The first half of this is about Cruise's character and the film flips and becomes about Newman. Oddly enough though while Cruise can be a bit whiny, Newman carries it through and when it becomes more about Eddie it becomes even better. It can feel a little episodic but in general it flows pretty well. And thanks to such strong execution it's very easy to overlook. Anyone who is a fan of pool, sports movies, the director, any actors in this, or the first movie should check this out.

The eighties, Scorsese {before he became too predictable,) a young hot shot TC and silver fox Paul Newman reprising his role as Fast Eddie Felson. The soundtrack, the tone, direction, etc., and how about the character actors in this! Bill Cobb, John Turturro, Forrest Whitaker! I will watch this anytime it's on. What a gem.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Leaburn O Whilst it isn’t in the same league as The Hustler, it’s still a very decent film in its own right. Cruise displays his usual character tics in this early role. Newman is pretty slick. Watched on DVD. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Rosana B Queria eu não ter criado um ranço com Tom Cruise (cientologia e abandono paternal) não tão cedo, não antes de assistir à maioria de seus filmes, "Ele é um bobalhão" dita por um personagem, sobre ele, nunca foi tão real... O filme é demasiadamente enfadonho, independente de sua atuação, e me lembrou o The Hustler, de1961, pela sinuca, qual não foi minha surpresa tratar-se de uma sequência, tão esquecível quanto o original… Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
