Reviews


75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
One of the things I like best about Poolhall Junkies is its lack of grim desperation.
60
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
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.
60
Variety - Todd McCarthy
Callahan mostly overcomes its grungy technical quality with entertaining dialogue, nervy confrontation scenes, decent thesping and some truly spectacular shooting on the green velvet.
50
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
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 - Manohla Dargis
It isn't that nothing happens in Poolhall Junkies, it's that nothing interesting does.
