Paul Newman, an extraordinary actor

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2006)

I thought Paul Newman is just an actor in this movie, but I realized he really play pool. He is amazing. Even if we don't know who finally won, I think Eddie is better than Vincent. Maybe Eddie was not so wise when he forfeited in the competition but his goal was to be among the best players again. The "balabushka" he kept is the proof he wanted to remain in top. When I saw the movie for the first time, I was just a kid and I wanted to be a very good hustler, but I still never played on a real pool table yet; just on the Internet. Maybe I will never fulfill my dream, but this movie will remind me every time how cute dreamer I used to be. I recommend this movie to anybody.
