Martin Scorcese directed this sequel to "The Hustler". It stars Tom Cruise as a hot shot but undisiplined young pool hustler who is being coached by aging Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman reprises his role as the original hustler). They travel all over the winter midwest and teach, learn, and fight. The music is loud honky tonk style tunes. The story and acting are better than I expected. Worth a look.
