As a movie, it fell significantly short of 'Hustler', but at least it was a good pool movie!

It wasn't very good, but it started the second renaissance of pool.

They need to do a sequel with Cruise as the stake horse and a young girl he teaches to hustle. Sydney Sweeney as the trainee trying to stay undercover as the natural, perhaps.

You spelled uncovered wrong.

It would sure cost less to make than the Days of Thunder sequel he is doing.

I'd give it a 2. The Hustler was a 10.
Neuman should have got an academy award in 1961, Instead of a pity award in 1986.

Days of Blunder as far as I am concerned.

i concur. but will admit that cruise prancing around and twirling his cue like an idiot increased public interest in pool

P.S. I can’t tell you how many times I realize a movie is 40+ years old, or even worse, a well-recorded music selection played on a high-resolving 2-channel system, looking it up, and, rediscovering, $h!+, the damned favorite cut WAS RECORDED 50+ YEARS AGO!! Wasn’t that just, like 15 years ago?

Youth: enjoy it while you are young. Before you realize it your GRANDDAUGHTER is a freshman at university.
