1.0 out of 5 stars Is this the worst film of all time ?, 20 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Don't make the mistake of thinking this is a recent film, just because the DVD was released in Jan '06.

This has a frighteningly young Bob Geldof, in a part that must have killed his acting ambitions (at least Africa can be grateful). Sadly his wooden performance isn't saved by the plot which is ridiculously implausible (snooker hall "bum" enters world championship) or performances by his co-stars as Ray Winstone, Phil Daniels etc... are reduced to bit parts.

It is not intentionally funny, and you have to laugh at it or cry that you've wasted your cash.

If you're over 35 then you may get a bit nostalgic for the 80's, but it just made me sad I wasn't a teenager again!

Truly awful....

5.0 out of 5 stars Number One DVD, 4 Jun 2009
By Mr. M. R. Blewett "mrb20067" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great 80s film now available on DVD starring Bob Geldof. Bob stars as a rising snooker superstar advised by his corrupt manager. The cast list is really impressive making it a hard hitting good British movie. This DVD is really worth a look and a good addition to your collection.
