Surprisingly good
By JFFC from London, England , 15 Oct 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
To be honest I only really rented this as it involved pool which i've grown fond of in recent months and nothing else.
What followed was a Surprisingly strong movie following the underground pool hustling circuit and the trouble it brings.- Was this review helpful to you?

(12)Not a bad shot1!
By Corre (10 reviews) from Dalkeith , 07 Aug 2008Entertaining but not brilliant. This is the type of film you might watch to accompany a big release. The main theme here is cool. Its not a gangster flick, its not quite a buddy flick and its not dark enough to be a solo affair. Its redeeming quality is how the pool shots are stitched so seemlessly into the story. This is a film about pool and about how cool pool is. Thats all folks!- Was this review helpful to you?

Good, very entertaining
By NativityInBlack (119 reviews) from Birmingham , 05 Sep 2007unfortunatly Walken wasnt in it as much as you might have hoped and shockingly he and Callahan weren't related in the film despite Callahan playing the whole film like he was Walkens stunt double with decent impersonation also...
overall very good, reall all down to having a good cast in most areas....recomended- Was this review helpful to you?

As quiet as a church mouse
By S from W Yorkshrie , 15 Apr 2007This movie provided a a real surprise. I rented it off the back of it centring around pool, Christopher Walken and Chazz Palminteri - who were great.
There are some great sequences, the plot flows well and is easy to relate to and connect with the characters. The dialogue in the film is good,and is delivered without being forced.
A good popcorn flick.- Was this review helpful to you?

It's your shot. Take it
By a customer from not where i wanna be , 15 Apr 2006The cast includes Christopher Walken, as always good, Rod Steiger in his last role, and a group of youngmen, who are very amusing. This is pure entertainment. As Ebert says, 'a young man's film humming with fun of making it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Absolute rubbish
By Dave from York, England , 21 Jul 2005Bad acting, bad story, just absolute rubbish! I expected something along the lines of Stickmen but it was not even close. Avoid this drivel!- Was this review helpful to you?
