Scorsese is peerless at mining the streaks of courage and excellence that might redeem such low-life sleaze. And Scorsese again proves himself a master with actors.

It's entertaining and at times even insightful, but nowhere near as powerful-or memorable-as "The Hustler."

There's nothing [Martin Scorsese] made so achingly generic and impersonal as this.

Yes, sure, this is mid-level Scorsese. But it says something about the director that his mid-level work still beats the hell out of just about anyone else's best.

We are not on Rocky's side of the street, but in Martin Scorsese country, where bent character, not sentiment, shapes destiny, and the best the struggling human spirit can hope for is a split decision.

Pic has a distinctive pulse of its own with exceptional performances by Paul Newman and Tom Cruise.

A solidly crafted entertainment that, for the most part, strikes a successful balance between commercial necessity and personal expression.

Though this is clearly Newman's picture, Tom Cruise also is a joy to watch.

It is a surprise, and a disappointment.
