The Rack Pack

The Rack Pack (2016) docu drama about the rise of Barry Hearn's Matchroom stable of snooker players of the early 80's. Focusing principally on the rise of Steve "the Nugget" Davis and subsequent decline of Alex "Hurricane" Higgins. Like all great sports films at the heart of the action is the rivalry between differing personalities, be it Borg v McCenroe, Hunt v Lauda and no doubt there is a film/ book being written about Messi v Ronaldo.

I had'nt realised how much I recalled from my childhood about the early days of snooker on tv. Its a great film and you dont need to know that much about the snooker just to understand that there will always be a new kid on the block to turn over the reigning champ. A snooker loopy 8/10.
