A true classic

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2005)

This movie is a classic - every single aspect of it works: the direction, the cinematography, the acting (Newman and Scott are great) and its story is superb...
Firstly, it has to do with one of the greatest sports of all time - pool - and manages to capture the exact feelings that a player has (when Newman explains how the cue stick becomes one with your arm is very accurate)... The best scene (if you exclude the pool scenes) is the "greatness speech" that Newman gives to Sarah - proclaiming that "anything can be great"...
The next best scene is the closing scene - actually the opening scene is also very good.... anyways see the movie all the scenes are great - a true classic... extremely recommendable for pool junkies
