Martin Scorsese handles directing duties in this 1986 sequel to the classic 1961 film The Hustler, which marks the return of Paul Newman to the role of pool shark Fast Eddie Felson. Anxious to break into the big time again, Eddie finds a talented protégé (Tom Cruise) to groom; but with the addition of the latter’s manipulative girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) and the wild streak in Cruise’s character, the trio make for a fascinating portrait in group psychology.
