A film that should be rated X because to me it is pornography.
Paul Newman giving Tom Cruise googly eyes while he destroys John Turturro in a game of pool while Phil Collins' "One More Night" plays in the background is the frontrunner for most romantic moment of the 80's.
in the last year i’ve gotten back into billiards and have played a good amount at one of the iconic chicago locations they shot this in, making this rewatch a lot more engaging than my first time where this was one of three scorsese films i was watching a day. still pretty tame and unremarkable if you’re going to look at it next to the rest of his filmography, but i really couldn’t take my eyes off this thing. works best when it’s just 10 minutes straight of really well-edited pool with blues playing in the background, that final act is honestly mesmerizing. vince wearing a shirt that says “vince” is hilarious. the brief scene where eddie is swimming, just to show he is truly the master of ALL forms of pool!!a somewhat by the books gambling/addiction/masculinity story but scorsese always manages to make it feel a lot slimier than anything else out there, eddie felson is a fascinating character. we’re due for a new billiards film and i REALLY wanna make it. all this said, i gotta watch the hustler.
A former pool hustler decides to return to the game by taking a talented but unpolished young player under his wing as a partner.
Martin Scorsese directed the 1986 drama, known for his gritty character-driven storytelling.
Paul Newman won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film.
