A solid movie featuring engaging performances and Scorsese demonstrating his love of film by taking his tremendous skills to do exactly what should be asked of any director: tell a story and tell it well. Nice early performance by Forest Whitaker as well.

It's pretty fun, and Scorsese goes nuts on the dolly. But I mean, why not just watch The Hustler instead?

I wish Paul Newman held me like he held that pool cue.

Entirely useless, of no value or interest whatsoever. The idea of a follow up about Fast Eddie Felson is promising, but without George C. Scott reprising his role as Bert there is simply no reason for the film to exist. See THE HUSTLER, if you haven't already.

The Hustler is an incredible film and after watching The Color of Money, you not only appreciate it more but realize how unnecessary Color really is. The acting is pretty strong but it is very obvious that Scorsese's heart is not in this material, I believe he admitted to doing it to help fund The Last Temptation of Christ and it is quite obvious, if so. Also, one of the worst endings I have seen in some time.

    i think your wrong. i think the fact that there are two eddie felson movies is nothing but a gift-- seeing that character at different periods of his life, both very different. i think both films are exemplary dramas.

Vastly underrated work in Scorsese's oeuvre. From the director's opening narration, to the kinetic camerawork to the fantastic ending, this is a great movie. Not the best in Scorsese's career, but not the worst.

It suffers some in comparison to The Hustler but Color of Money is a really great film in its own right. The performances all around are really tightly observed and the plot is exciting and surprising. A cool follow up the the Fast Eddie character.

I love Paul Newman and some of the shots in this movie. But Tom Cruise is a total D Bag and only mildly successful in portraying one in this film. I agree with you Pierluigi Puccini that this is a "sequel to an undisputed classic."

Sequel to an undisputable classic. Scorsese delivers a fine cocktail, great timing, photography, and performances, especially Paul Newman's "fast" Eddie Felson the one and only hustler, this time back for some more struggle against himself.
