[Scorsese] delivers the cinematic charge of the pool room culture of hustle and gamesmanship along with the education of a young protégé lacking self and a mentor who has yet to face his own conflicted feelings about the game.

There's nothing [Martin Scorsese] made so achingly generic and impersonal as this.

It's entertaining and at times even insightful, but nowhere near as powerful-or memorable-as "The Hustler."

Though this is clearly Newman's picture, Tom Cruise also is a joy to watch.

A solidly crafted entertainment that, for the most part, strikes a successful balance between commercial necessity and personal expression.
