I saw this movie last night online and was very disappointed. Has anyone else seen it? What did you think? The female lead as a poolplayer was not at all believable they never showed her stroke a ball in but I could have lived with that but the story was weak. If anyone wants to critic the movie here's the link. http://thepiratecity.org/1822_Turn_the_River__2007.htm
 
I got it for Christmas. The thing about it is that it's not really a movie about pool, more similar to The Hustler than TCOM. I thought the actors and some of the characters were pretty cool but the plot had some major holes in it. Kind of a B movie chick flick with a pool hustling subplot.

I picked it up when it was first released, figuring that Id enjoy it because it was pool oriented.

I was wrong. :mad:
 
I rented it from netflix. I watched it for about a half hour, and that was all the suffering I could take. I shut it off and put it back in the envelope.

It kind of sucked. But at least it was a pool movie:D.


Im with eazy on this one. yeah it sucked but at least it was a pool movie. Give me a bad pool movie, over just a plain old bad movie any day. Plus Famke janseen is hottt.

Consider yourself lucky. The first half hour was the better portion of the movie. lol
 
I happen to have watched it last night too (on DVD). I gathered from the director's comments that it was a fairly low-budget film. Given that, I think they did a fairly decent job of it. It was something to watch and I wasn't expecting "The Hustler."

(It's too bad, though, that the main characters didn't get into a "debate" over aiming systems. But then I guess they weren't really trying to make a horror flick.)

I think it might be a movie you can get your girlfriend or wife to watch with you,have seen worse movies,she is hot so it is bearable. :grin:
 
blah

Yeah, that movie was so painful to watch I would rather stick grapefruit spoons in my eyes and walk around in traffic...
 
I have to agree with the majority here it had some pool in it so I was fine. I can be very critical when it comes to movies and I mean any movie not just pool movies. I see flaws in special effects micrphones in pictures (Thats the worst) I can pick movies apart. I will watch any movie with pool as a plot or sub-plot.
 
I liked it

Not realy a movie watcher,more of a reader.It had everything I like though:chick flick;B-movie;pool movie;no car chases;not produced in Hollywierd.Of course I was expecting it to be bad so I enjoyed it.
 
plain and simple - dog**it. famke jansen is hot though. i'd just rather watch her in something else.
