You gotta love pool to watch this movie in the first place. Add a sick soundtrack, insane pool shots, Walken, Steiger, and a killer cast that honors the pool greats.
The rawness of the filmmaking mistakes in all gives it charm, the sound effects of the pool game is before it's time. First saw this in high school and it only gets better with time. Mars' game is evident, as is the joy Christopher Walken has on his face the entire movie. Love the young cast before their bigger roles. If you look at it from any other perspective other than the passion put into its making, you should stick to the critics choices. Mars, you're the man. This is pool players movie, and in some ways better than the Hustler and Color of Money. Strip away those other movies drama and you get pure pool playing hubris that you see at any pool hall across America. Wish Mars was still in the game.
