Full Plot Details

Obsessed by the world of pool, Johnny (Mars Callahan) could be one of the best. But his mentor and "trainer" Joe (Chazz Palminteri), a shady hustler who decides how and who Johnny plays, is holding him back from his dream. When the day finally comes, Johnny breaks from Joe, which leads to only one thing -- violence. Joe is beaten up by some of Johnny's buddies as a sign to leave him alone, and with this final act of freedom, Johnny leaves the world of pool-sharking. After an ultimatum from his girlfriend Tara ('Alison Eastwood'), Johnny finally commits to a "real" job in the construction business, but is soon miserable there. He finds himself spending most of his time with his younger brother Danny (Michael Rosenbaum) who it seems is following in his footsteps on the road to a life Johnny left when he broke from Joe. As for Joe, he is bent on revenge for the beating he took, and soon he has a new protégé Brad (Rick Schroder) who is just as good if not better then Johnny. And he's got his eye on Johnny's brother. The two play a high-stakes game of pool which ends in a huge debt owed to Joe, and soon Johnny finds that his brother is in jail for trying to steal the money he owes. The only way out for Johnny is to play Brad, which results in a "race to nine" showdown that pits two of the greatest players against each other for large sums of money, and Johnny and Danny's lives.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzIf you saw this film, then you were hustled.
San Diego Metropolitan - 8/10 by Jean LowerisonI guess this is an attempt at Realism, or maybe Grit. This is neither; it's just plain bad writing in a film that shouldn't have been made.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertOne of the things I like best about Poolhall Junkies is its lack of grim desperation.
EricDSnider.com - 8/10 by Eric D. SniderIt's the sort of movie where someone can describe a character as being from 'the good side of the tracks' and mean it.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumPlays out like a variation on an old design dictum: If you can't make it good, make it big.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 6/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)When Christopher Walken saunters into Poolhall Junkies, he kicks it from so-so to worthwhile.

Reel Film Reviews - 6/10 by David NusairThough there's not much in Poolhall Junkies we haven't seen many times before, the film manages to remain mostly entertaining due mostly to some surprisingly effective performances and a brisk pace.
Jam! Movies - 6/10 by Louis B. HobsonThe snappy dialogue and cool characters provide enough pure entertainment to make this is a fun flick.
About.com - 6/10 by Rebecca MurrayWhat this film seriously lacks in originality it makes up for with a remarkable cast.
