The Hustler isn't what he used to be. But he has the next best thing. A kid who is.
Drama
Synopsis
Former pool hustler "Fast Eddie" Felson decides he wants to return to the game by taking a pupil. He meets talented but green Vincent Lauria and proposes a partnership. As they tour pool halls, Eddie teaches Vincent the tricks of scamming, but he eventually grows frustrated with Vincent's showboat antics, leading to an argument and a falling-out. Eddie takes up playing again and soon crosses paths with Vincent as an opponent.

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.

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