Description

Johnny was a poolhall hustler, one of the best, until he discovered how his manager Joe had ruined his life. he left Joe int he hands of some heavy-duty drug dealers and split the scene. Now he's trying to go legit, save his relationship with his girlfriend Tara, and maybe even save his life. Johnny's younger brother Danny is eager to follow in his footsteps -- eager enough to find himself deep in debt to Joe, who has returned with a new poolhall protege. When Danny robs a store to pay back Joe, it's time for his big brother to take his cue. The final game has a payoff that's bigger than money, bigger than life, bigger than either player can imagine. Because somewhere on the edge of the 8-ball waits a man's soul.

1 out of 5 stars IF YOU PLAY POOL, THE LACK OF PROPER FORM WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS.......2007-06-04

THE POOL SHOTS IN THIS MOVIE ARE A JOKE. EVER HEAR OF STAYING DOWN, LIL' RICKY POPS UP ON EVERY SHOT HE TAKES

5 out of 5 stars Fast Shipping.......2007-05-13

I received my movie right on time as stated, shipping was fast and was packaged just fine. I had no problems. Thanks, Will shop here again.Poolhall Junkies This Movie is Awesome Check it Out.

4 out of 5 stars Watch this movie and your life will improve. No, really........2007-04-24

If you dig the whole interaction of a well oiled machine-like crew of witty, bantering guys too young to yet be jaded but playing in grownup world then this is for you. I LOVED the back and forth in the dialogue between the buddies. And they're just the backdrop material. The conversations between everyone were just gutter poetry. Chazz and Christopher are right on the money with everything about themselves that I like to see in a movie. The lead character is in control even when he's OUT of control. There is a smooth flow to this flick that makes me think of the perfect Seven and Seven. Goes down easy and you're glad you ordered it. Had a nice seedy feel to it whenever the action was in the poolhalls. This film makes you wish you could hang out with these characters for just one night.

4 out of 5 stars Good movie.......2007-03-08

Has all the elements you'd expect for this type of movie and does them all really well, a good movie even if you've never picked up a pool stick

4 out of 5 stars This movie rocks!!!.......2007-03-08

This is great movie about pool hustlers and scumbags. I liked it. I think you will like it. If you like this one, check out Double Down. There are a lot of the same characters, and actually that is the better of the two movies.
