Stickmen

After watching a few trashy NZ films its great to see a totally entertaining and fresh flick which keeps you guessing,laughing and enthralled from start to finish. Bassically 3 kiwi guys are thrust into a high stakes pool tournament, were they play a bevy of different and interesting characters every round,throw in a couple of chicks, and underworld King Pin"Daddy" and his lakeys and you have the formula for stickmen. Add to the mix a few interesting Sub plots/Diversions-The guy who works as a driver for escorts, the guy with the pink shirt etc, and you have the freshest film to come out of New Zealand since the days of Brain Dead and Once Were Warriors.
