Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2002 thriller film directed by Mars Callahan, who also stars as a pool hustler named Johnny, once known as "The Sidepocket Kid", who decides to get out of the business after he learns that Joe (Chazz Palminteri), his manager, threw away his invitation to play in a professional pool league in order to keep making money off of him as a hustler. Unfortunately, it turns out he isn't any good at doing legitimate work, and what's worse, his little brother Danny (Michael Rosenbaum), something of a hustler himself, is set to get himself in a load of trouble with Joe when he gets in over his head. | |

Ascended Fanboy: Averted in the prologue. Johnny gets an invite to the pro league. In fact, while the league is limited to 50 players, they are making an exception just so he can be #51 and play. Joe throws his invite in the trash without telling him about it. note Evidently played straight in the epilogue, which shows Johnny in a suit playing at the league poolhall seen earlier, though it could just mean he's moved on to hustling pro, having worked past his insecurities. | |

Batman Gambit: Johnny's final winning gamble involves using Joe's better-safe-than-sorry hustling mentality to work against him. To clarify, both Brad and Joe are convinced that Brad's final shot is impossible to make. Using some clever wordplay, Johnny bets that he could easily make Brad's shot. When Joe agrees to the bet (seeing it as easy money), he doesn't realize that he's just agreed to let Johnny take Brad's turn for him! Once Johnny misses the shot on Brad's turn, the balls are in the perfect position for him to make the shot on his turn, winning him the game. | |
