Entertaining although dated and has problems.

The color of money is not great really and not a great sequel to the hustler. It is rather repetitive with the characters fighting over the same things over and over again. Some of the artistic shots in the film do not work all to well, and most of all it is somewhat dated in its eighties look and soundtrack. Otherwise though I did enjoy watching it though. I just liked seeing where Fast Eddie Felson went after the Hustler and it is entertaining enough for that.
Oscar Win Best Actor Paul Newman 3/5- Not Newman's best worst or his best portrayal of Fast Eddie. Newman though gives a good performance still like he usually does. He does not go beyond like he does in almost all of his other oscar nominated roles but in this he is good.
