The Baltimore Bullet (1980)


Avco Embassy Pictures
Directed by Robert Ellis Miller
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
(YouTube)

A couple of down and out pool hustlers travel across the country to participate in a tournament and face off with an old foe. Along the way, they hustle for money, pick up women and play poker. James Coburn mugs incessantly in this awful, sexist buddy comedy. Ronee Blakley contributes a disco country song. Omar Sharif enjoys expensive wine and forgets how to act. Go watch The Hustler for a real movie about pool.
