An excellent movie that is neither rushed nor drawn out.

If we are on the topic,,, I noticed that (in the movie) the first person who impressed Mr. Sharpe with his pinball skills was one who was drinking from a stein of beer... now, I have no idea about others, but from my experience, the most fruitful games come form playing stone cold sober (with the notable exception of Medieval Madness? but I digress). Is this a point worth debating when it comes to pinball and this movie or not? From what I've read, in the current economic climate, most income from pinballs comes from barcades (bars that have arcade games... not certain about pinballs) and as such it's surely a worthy topic to consider. I would most certainly visit places that do not serve alcohol just to play pinball... but apparently this is a niche that is not taken into consideration by people looking to invest.
