The Color of Money
Directed by Martin Scorsese
1986
★ 4.1 editorial score
Paul Newman got his Oscar twenty-five years late, for playing the same character a second time: Scorsese films pool halls like boxing rings, and Tom Cruise is the new hustler.
“In ''The Color of Money,'' Mr. Newman and Mr. Scorsese dare to do something that few serious film makers ever attempt - that is, to give us an update on a character who was complete in his own time, place and work...against all odds, they've succeeded in creating a most entertaining, original film with its own, vivid, very contemporary identity and reason for being.”
