Plot Summary: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.
最近热衷台球而找来看 一部关于关于兄弟和直面自己的电影 nobody can tell me what to do cause I'm the boss of my own. PS里面关于Lion的比喻很经典
严重低估的佳片
比较美国!
居然没标记过 最后那输得是智商 作孽
因为关于狮子的演讲而看 虽然是老片 却展现了桌球的魅力
噗,看到了某人的the lion speech!
一个被隐于市的绝世台球高手的救赎之路。
因为台球才看你

哈哈 迷上桌球了 情节似乎有点乌托邦式 久违的竞技 依然很爱 ... and thankx for the fucking movie made in 2002 ohoh
两字:扎实。
刚看了,没有字幕,看得我很痛苦。这个片子所讲的故事其实和地下赛车很类似,不同的是一个通过桌球,一个通过赛车,来体现自己。感觉这个片子还算文明,没多少黑话,粗口翻来翻去也是那么几句。赌博、赛车、赌球,这样的东西其实都可以算是一类的。 觉得,人的天性里面,赌还算是个比较重要的因素。
