A terrible film on every level. The story is unbelievable as well as unrealistic. The characters are not only hard to believe, but are not sympathetic so you really don't care. There is so much slang inserted into the dialogue that's it almost incomprehensible -- they actually have a special feature on poolhall slang which I guess we're supposed to watch first. Seeing a few well done pool shots well executed is the only positive thing I can say about this mess, but that it's not enough to warrant even a rental, as you can see that on ESPN. You're better off watching "The Hustler" and "Color of Money" for a 3rd, 4th or 5th time than watching this travesty even once.

See anything else. I still can't believe someone financed this nonsense. You're much better off going to bed an hour and a half earlier and just skipping this train wreck entirely. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I don't know where these morons developed their grim view of pool and pool players, but it wasn't in a poolroom. First off, pool hustlers are charming (the better to relieve you of your money), unlike the venemous, scenery-chewing characters in this flick. (As an aside, today's tournament players are as likely to pull you aside and ask about the state of your salvation as to hustle you.) The only nod to realism is a string of trick shots--but try setting your drink on the rail in a real poolroom and the manager will run over with a quick dose of realism. As for the story, forget it. Lack of character development leaves little room for interest anyhow.

This movie deserves alot more credit its face paced shot great and the music is amazing I dont understand how everyone says its not original with a typical plot if you liked pool hall junkies get this one youll like it better.

the movie plot is quite common (I mean you see many such plots) - some con artist trying to con others in a pool gallery and some intricat plot which invloves other pool players, hustlers and strong men - of coarse few cops. This is all very common but what is uncommon is the quality of photography and back ground music. Cinematography is superlative - all frames are complete - lighting is fabulous - can compare it to Sincity. Now a days in the world of computer generated movies it is difficult to find such photography. You will notice that the editing is also great and matches with the phography - some the trick shots in the pool table are great. Good entertaining movie. You can rent it.
