I watched this movie late on a Saturday night on T.V and hadn't even heard of it. I was thoroughly surprised and uplifted by the whole thing. I play pub pool and a lot of the dialogue and circumstances made me chuckle in my armchair. E. g when Thomas (Paulo Rotondo) says "I mean as long as i have got a pool cue in one hand, a beer in the other, coin on the table and my mates by my side I'll be happy". That is me all over. I bought this movie straight after I watched it but had to wait 2 weeks for my local video store to order it in. A film like this should not be one to be forgotten on the shelf never mind not even find it. One of my favourite films of today. With no well known actors this film wouldn't appeal to most, but seriously don't judge a book by its cover, or a video or a CD. 9 out of 10 a must see for the pub sportsman.

There is three major movies all about pool.
1. The hustler - paul newman, black and white film.. about fast eddie
2. The Color of Money - again paul newman, a lot older, and tom cruise a lot younger... great flick about an upcoming star in the pool world. newman plays an old fast eddie that retired his cue.
3. poolhall junkies. about a bunch of kids getting in and out of trouble while gambling on pool. more modern film and great trick shots.
they def. need to make a few more. pool is a pretty big phenomenon
have not seen nor really heard about stickmen. def going to look into it though

Haven't seen Stickmen, but if you are into pool, then you should check out "Poolhall Junkies" written, directed and starring Mars Callahan, and starring Christopher Walken, Chazz Palminteri, and Rick Schroder. Good Flick!
