Crystal Reed and Mike Faist in Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game (2022)

Review by thekarmicnomad

Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game

5/10

Understated to say the least

This is the story of how Roger Sharpe assisted in overturning the New York ban on pinball machines.

It is as exciting as it sounds.

That is not a bad thing - not every movie has to have planets crashing into the sun, but be aware of this.

It is well filmed, using the interview process as a clever naration device that adds some welcomed disruption and humour to it.

This is well produced and acted.

We watched this on a Wednesday evening and it was perfect.

A lot of this revolves around Roger's love life.

Roger does seem to like Pinball a bit too much and the stakes here are low. I really don't care if pinball machines got banned in a city on the otherside of the world 50 years.

This is a nice film that chews up and idle afternoon.
