POOLHALL JUNKIES hedged its bets by sprinkling notable guest stars throughout the film. Christopher Walkens, Chazz P, etc. The movie itself is good, although I had expected to learn some things about pool that I did not know going in, and was a tad disappointed by the lack of "insider information" present in JUNKIES.
Still, it's a good movie, with nice direction by the star/director, and the film moves well enough that it never bores. The narrative structure is a bit cliche, and as previously mentioned POOLHALL JUNKIES really doesn't break the mold of your average sports movie.
Good, but could have been a lot better.
