All Newman...

Rating: Null/10 (4 March 1999)

It's sad that Tom Cruise had to ruin the whole film by talking. The boy still hasn't learned how to act. When Newman isn't on, it's dull. The script is pretty thin. Scorsese's direction is solid throughout most of it. Mastrantonio is sexy. Shaver and Forest Whitaker are good also. It just doesn't have to punch of "The Hustler."
