this movie could only appeal to someone who doesn not know the game . the actor can not hold a cue and be show make ridiculous and sometimes even illegal shot ( the push stroke to roll a ball along the rail be not a legal stroke ) . bank shot be play when a direct shot be available . etc . this movie suck a a pool movie . the acting be poor and the scene contrive . the movie would have u believe that someone could get away with bet that a shot could be make on a player turn and then be able to take the next shot because the player buy his opponent turn and therefore the subsequent shot be still his . guy would have his as kick .
