"They botched this DVD release something fierce, it's a 4:3 Pan & Scan copy with Dolby 2.0 Surround, while Region 2 and Region 4 got nice 16:9 widescreen release with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, Commentary track, behind the scenes footage and more for HALF THE PRICE!!! 9.99 EUR which is $12.93 at time of writing this.
If you can import the R2 or R4 version it's worth it. This version was a disappointment.
I love the movie, but way to let me down Monarch Video."
Good, but...

"This movie was pretty good. But it's impossible to NOT compare to Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. It's basically the same thing. Lock, Stock involved poker, Snatch had boxing, and this one is about pool. All of them with your stereo-type gangster that is trying to screw the heroes out of money and at the same type keep 'em down so they know who is boss. Eventually I'll buy this one, just have a bunch ahead in the list."
Good To see something different

"This film was just cool, It just oozed with its own self confidence. never being shy to do soemthing differnt. Its basically about 3 guys who get dragged into a Pool competition by some gangster. The 3 main characters are superb. The actors all seem to have the x factor especially the main character. you just cant keep your eyes off him when hes on the screen. Its funny, slick and differnt. If you liked lock stock or snatch. You will love this."
GREAT MOVIE!!!

"Have been waiting for ages for this to become available in the US. Saw it twice while I was visiting in New Zealand. A consummate boys movie, with heaps of style and a good sense of humor about itself, this one is a great way to kill an evening."
