Break

I gave it three stars because the storyline actually wasn't that bad, even though it was really quite cliché. The story had potential. The problem with this film was the lead actor. He had no charm. He had no charisma. He could not act. And he was totally miscast for this film. I would imagine that one of the reasons that he played the lead was because he was the executive producer of the film. Don't know how that worked out. The other actors weren't that bad at all. Fairly good acting all around. But the guy who played Eli stunk up the film like a dead skunk in the middle of the road. Frankly, I can't believe I watched the entire film. It's like you just have to find out what happens even though it's excruciating to watch. I think one of the reasons that I'm the first to review is because not enough people watched the film all the way through. If it hadn't been for Jeff Kober, I would've stopped watching after about 20 minutes.

Okay, this film had major potential to be great. The cinematography was gorgeous, and the plot was good overall.

I had no idea who the actress who played Millie was (Braedyn Bruner), but she should be booked and busy after this performance. She had to share most of her scenes with a lead that should've never been cast, yet she somehow remained grounded. She was intoxicating to watch.

Jeff Kober continues to deliver greatness in the villain department. I initially rented the film because of him.

Victor Rasuk was another standout here, which begs the question, why wasn't he cast as the lead?

Overall, a decent film about pool. The guy playing Eli weighs it down immensely, but I think it's still worth a watch.

The direction is a bit clunky, which makes it feel very basic, but that could be forgiven as the story was something I wanted to watch. I could only manage 30 minutes as the lead actor is so truly awful.

I read the only other review on here and have to agree, I just didn't have the staying power as I couldn't wait for the lead to not be on the screen as he just ruined every scene.

I knew so many actors in this film who all did a great job in TV and other films, so it should have worked!

As a executive producer, this guy was clearly too big headed and over the benefit of the films quality, cast himself as the lead. It's obviously worked for the Matt Damon's of world, just not here.

Unfortunately id recommend giving this one a miss.
