Sequel to 'The Hustler'. It's 25 years later and Paul Newman's "hustler" is retired from the game, he's in the liquor buisness now. Spots Tom Cruise at a pool hall; see's real talent; takes him under his wing; wants to fashion him into something. Newman experiences another crises of confidence, then gains back his confidence and ends up playing against Cruise in a tournament in Atlantic City. I enjoyed this more then 'The Hustler'. Marty Scorsese directs. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio at her most attractive. ***
