Critic Reviews

One of the things I like best about Poolhall Junkies is its lack of grim desperation.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Callahan mostly overcomes its grungy technical quality with entertaining dialogue, nervy confrontation scenes, decent thesping and some truly spectacular shooting on the green velvet.Full Review

Todd McCarthy
Variety

Like too many sports-related movies, this one falls back on that One Big Game, the final score that will set everything right.Full Review

Robert K. Elder
Chicago Tribune

The proliferating subplots require many big emotional confrontations, so the movie seems to reach its climax 20 minutes in, and then every 15 minutes or so thereafter. This is fairly exhausting.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

It isn't that nothing happens in Poolhall Junkies, it's that nothing interesting does.Full Review
