This one should have been a home run for me as I am a fan of both Paul Newman and Tom Cruise. As it played out the acting was great but the characters were depicted poorly. The cockiness of Cruise was way over the top and the moodiness of Newman was a distraction. I thought Scorcese's direction of the film was poor and the screen play was choppy. The Hustler was a fantastically great movie and this should have been better with it's predecessor as a pattern. Even with the great Paul Newman this one only gets a 5 from me.
