You can't dispute the talent of those involved...

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 1999)

It's funny, every time I think I don't like Scorsese, I see one of his flicks and my mind changes. He is the undisputed master of the shot, the king of detail. In the scene where Newman's cue hits the white ball and the cloud of chalk puffs out- my God, it was the most beautiful thing.
Beyond that, I admire any film that can make a game interesting. It was suspenseful and masterfully done. Newman is an absolutely fantastic actor, he's so comfortable on the screen. This is one of Scorsese's more accessible flicks, well worth the 2 bucks spent on the video rental.
