This movie is a lot of things. Primarily, it's an incredible vehicle for two of the most charismatic movie stars in Hollywood history.
Definitely Scorsese’s “for them” and “for me” movie. You can tell Fast Eddie really interested him. My new fav Tom Cruise performance too!
Decent watch, recommend The Hustler to those who have not seen it.
Some of paul newmans best. Every billiard enthusiast must watch.
You know the movie is well made if it can pull you in with a plot revolving around people playing pool
Innovative camera work from Scorsese and great performances from Cruise and Newman. The two character arcs play well with each other.
marty Newman & TC - if that doesn’t sell you idk what will. Only nitpick is cruise can be a bit over the top but it does fit the character
Scorcese's megalomaniac camera movements and Paul Newman being a badass is reason enough to watch this rare gem of sports drama.
Paul Newman is so beautiful in this movie, it’s hard to pay attention to the story. But it’s a good one if you manage to.
Paul Newman and Scorsese cover up for Tom Cruise and make it very entertaining one.

Fast Eddie Felson is a small-time pool hustler with a lot of talent but a self-destructive attitude. His bravado causes him to challenge the legendary Minnesota Fats to a high-stakes match.
Former pool hustler "Fast Eddie" Felson decides he wants to return to the game by taking a pupil. He meets talented but green Vincent Lauria and proposes a partnership. As they tour pool halls, Eddie teaches Vincent the tricks of scamming, but he eventually grows frustrated with Vincent's showboat antics, leading to an argument and a falling-out. Eddie takes up playing again and soon crosses paths with Vincent as an opponent.
