Rack em' up!

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2005)

The Color of Money is without a doubt, a pool lover's movie. You couldn't watch this movie unless you loved billiards or Tom Cruise. If you have pool on the mind, this movie will not help you get rid of it.
Tom Cruise plays Vincent, an amateur pool player who has a strange look on the game. The professional Eddie (Paul Newman), shows Vince the ropes and dopes of hustling, which help him to become one of the best. Seeing as Vince is independent, his attitude gets in the way of his mission and love life. 'Fast Eddie' will have to keep an eye on Vince 24/7 to keep him from screwing up this risky life.
7 out of 10. For being a pool movie, there wasn't enough good matches going on. Half the movie was actual hustling/pool playing, the other half was Vince's cockiness towards others and himself. Ms. Mastrantonio is gorgeous, watch it for her!
