It's not The Hustler. This is Top Gun/Cocktail/Days of Thunder: Pool edition. Older mentor. Check. Cocky young and talented guy that makes really bad mistakes with both his career and girlfriend. Check. Contemporary music score. Check. Feels like Scorsese said "I wonder how good a movie I can make where I literally put no effort in?" This, my friends, is the answer.

Fantastic follow up. It doesn't quite follow the same themes, but it's interesting enough in its own right, with the mentoring story. The Scorsese direction makes it even more fresh.

Paul Newman back at the pool table. A great mentor movie with excellent acting performances.

Easily Scorsese's most underrated Movie!

They don't make movies or music like this anymore. And that's too bad. Scorsese and Clapton never disappoint
