It is an excellent movie. It had funny moments; interesting plot and the ending made me smile, for I loved the wit of this smart billiard player. The movie is about 2 friends who earn money in playing billiard. But, they decided to get involved in a very dangerous game, by going against Russian mafia. And, as we know, bad people do not easily let go of their money, so they make sure that the victory will be on their side. To win billiard competition, they wanted to injure the classical player. And they did injure the player who acquainted everyone as being that famous Classic (he is known by that nickname). You will enjoy it.

Great movie

Warning: Spoilers
I wasn't expecting much going to see that movie: oh no again some criminal affairs, fed up of so many badly made Russian movies of 90s (at present though too). But the movie turned out to be so nice. It's quite interesting, i would say captivating, perfect actors - their play is just stunning! Nikonenko gets 15 points out of 10 possible, and Guskov plays above all praise! On reading other comments: i guess the movie is not about 2 friends wishing to win mafia. If you remember in the beginning of the movie the billiards association was going to punish this criminal leader for robbing them off. So those two guys were sent there to make the whole clever combination true and bring justice to the world :)
Very pale, slow and not original; Don't waste your time

This movie is definitely a replica of on well-known USA film (don't want to spoil). In addition, it's very very slow and pale in comparison. The actors aren't acting except of Pankratov-Chyorny and Etush in supporting roles. All others are just reading their texts. Don't waste your time
