A young woman aspires to become a 9-ball professional and champion but her hustling uncle has other plans for her skills.

Tony Palma you made a movie, congratulations. Now for the love of god go to film school so that you can learn from the mistakes that you made in this cringe worthy film. The fact that this film got a distribution deal, even if it was (to my knowledge) only on !tunes is an insult to independent filmmakers who deserve to get their big break.
Though most of the blame does lie with the director/writer for this one the actors particularly Jennifer Barreta deserve a share of the blame, they did not even try to give anything resembling a performance. I have seen actors in movies released by The Asylum give better performances then the entire cast of this movie.
As a ‘pool’ movie I hope that 9 ball is quickly forgotten, this movie had the potential to be something like pool hall junkies but failed. All 9-ball managed to do was insult the legacy of movies like The Hustler and The Color of Money simply by referencing them.
