Critics Review

Robert Rossen dirigió en 1961 una película protagonizada por Paul Newman dedicada al mundo del billar y las apuestas, un drama donde se nos contaba la historia de un hombre y su lucha día a día por sobrevivir haciendo lo que más le gustaba en esta vida: jugar al billar. 25 años después, Scorsese decidió continuar la historia, en donde tenemos al mismo protagonista, 20 años después, alejado de ese mundillo (al menos en lo que respecta a jugar), y el cómo descubrir a un prometedor jugador, protagonizado por un jovencísimo Tom Cruise haciendo un gran papel, le vuelve a introducir en todo eso de lo que se había alejado. Esta secuela de ¨El Buscavidas¨ se centra mucho más en el billar como tal, aunque, por supuesto, la trama de la película nos muestra la relación entre los dos personajes, sus roces y su manera de vivir y pensar. Ha conseguido gustarme incluso más que la otra, no es tan dura con la vida de nuestro protagonista y se hace más llevadera.

The Color of Money was too greedy for me to invest and enjoy. An classic film by a classic director featuring classic performances... However, I didn’t find it particularly entertaining. The characters come across as selfish and unlikable, making it difficult for me to cheer for or enjoy any of them. I found myself distracted by my phone for a significant portion of the movie as I wasn't invested in the outcome. The highlight for me was the ambiguous ending between mentor and prodigy, adding a little intrigue to the narrative. While The Color of Money boasts iconic visuals, acting, and lines, it will be a masterpiece to some and to others a bore.
