In Russia, there has long been a society of billiards, whose members are scattered throughout the country. Many of them have long become millionaires. And they should thank the old school teachers for this. Most of these old people live starving and lonely. In order to somehow brighten up their old age, the new generation of billiards decided to chip in and give their teachers a big mansion, where there will be decent food, good medical care and fresh air. No one refused his share of the contribution, except for an authority by the name of Savitsky. Soon, he completely changes his mind and organizes an ambush on the road, takes away not only his own money, but also his total money. The barely surviving couriers report this to all members of the community. The group comes up with a decent punishment by sending him a professional pool player nicknamed Classic. The bandit will have to fight with a virtuoso who prefers to play for large sums in order to save money.

ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
ShangLuda Admirable film.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Anastasia I wasn't expecting much going to see that movie: oh no again some criminal affairs, fed up of so many badly made Russian movies of 90s (at present though too). But the movie turned out to be so nice. It's quite interesting, i would say captivating, perfect actors - their play is just stunning! Nikonenko gets 15 points out of 10 possible, and Guskov plays above all praise! On reading other comments: i guess the movie is not about 2 friends wishing to win mafia. If you remember in the beginning of the movie the billiards association was going to punish this criminal leader for robbing them off. So those two guys were sent there to make the whole clever combination true and bring justice to the world :)
marichka21 It is an excellent movie. It had funny moments; interesting plot and the ending made me smile, for I loved the wit of this smart billiard player. The movie is about 2 friends who earn money in playing billiard. But, they decided to get involved in a very dangerous game, by going against Russian mafia. And, as we know, bad people do not easily let go of their money, so they make sure that the victory will be on their side. To win billiard competition, they wanted to injure the classical player. And they did injure the player who acquainted everyone as being that famous Classic (he is known by that nickname). You will enjoy it.
lolkha This movie is definitely a replica of on well-known USA film (don't want to spoil). In addition, it's very very slow and pale in comparison. The actors aren't acting except of Pankratov-Chyorny and Etush in supporting roles. All others are just reading their texts. Don't waste your time
