Reviews
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
One of the things I like best about Poolhall Junkies is its lack of grim desperation.
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
Brassy and energetic, first-time director Mars Callahan's vividly photographed ode to the seductive allure of professional sharking succeeds in making the game seem genuinely kinetic and thrilling.
|
|
Variety -
Callahan mostly overcomes its grungy technical quality with entertaining dialogue, nervy confrontation scenes, decent thesping and some truly spectacular shooting on the green velvet.
|
|
New York Post -
For all his skill with a cue, the charisma-challenged Callahan is no Nia Vardalos in the acting department -- let alone a Paul Newman or Tom Cruise.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
It isn't that nothing happens in Poolhall Junkies, it's that nothing interesting does.
