This movie really stinks and the pool shooting what there is of it really stinks. This movie is not worth the film is was put on and any APA member could beat anyone of these guys on a table.
May 18, 2008My husband said it was an okay movie. But he's only watched it once since over a year ago when I got it for him. He said it was similar to some other movie he saw once, and the other movie was better.
April 28, 2008Decent beer-swilling fare. Some acceptable laughs. But alas, the pool shooting is weak; if you're gonna call it Stickmen, let's see some shots as good as the Hustler or Color Of Money, please.
A guy's flick, and not a bad one. But not a very good one either.
Rack 'em up again.
February 19, 2008I found this movie to be more of a comedy than a drama. The pool matches were set up more like the APA/TAP League than your ordinary 1-vs-1 tournament style matches. Never-the-less, my 3 star rating is directed on the plot of the movie and not on the actual pool shooting or the footage of the shots.

I was hoping this was going to be another awesome movie with great pool shots like "Poolhall Junkies" but if you're looking for that kind of movie from"Stickmen" then this is not the movie for you. Most of the pool table scenes are cut away camera shots, that is you see the player line up his shot and shoot and then the camera cuts to the view of the ball going into the pocket, so you can be pretty sure these guys can't play pool. Unfortunately neither can the director as he left two scenes in where the players clearly make push shot fouls on the cue ball. Seems the movie is more about the rules of pool and how they apply to your life, that is if your life is about beers, bars, and shagging. As one reviewer said the theme of the movie is old, and I found the acting, filming, and pool playing mediocrity at best. The only redeeming feature is the part played by Kirk Torrance who is cast in the role of narrator/quasi-villian which is why I gave this movie a two.
