Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game
Based on true events, the film centers on the captivating story of Roger Sharpe, a GQ journalist and real-life pinball wizard who, in 1976, helped overturn New York City’s 35-year ban on pinball.
well... @nyctelecaster
Not enough pinball, way way way too much romance. The guy from "Better Call Saul" was good but to me he's typecast as the lawyer from Better Call Saul. For a bio-pic not bad.
Awesome sports romance politics true story @Hugh G. Manhood
I'm calling it a sports movie. It kind of is a sport right pinball? I knew about this story from my audiobook The Ultimate History of Video Games. Seemed like a good flick to me, a bargain for the $5 I paid for it if you figure a real pinball machine might cost $10,000 and will take a little more space in your home.
Extraordinary @jkeitz
Utilizing pinball as a metaphor for life, but not in the usual indie-movie drag out way with awful writing and acting. This one is a charmer, with great characters and outstanding writing. Just enough humor to keep it fun, and with perfect comedic timing, but just enough drama to make you care about the people. There isn’t a huge amount of pinball in the movie, after all it is a biopic of Roger Sharpe, but the movie never drags at any point. If you’re a pinball fan like me, you’ll love this movie. If you aren’t, I can’t imagine you wouldn’t still like the film.
