Turn the River (2007)
What is the real story here?

Enjoyed the performances of Jannsen, Torn and Dornan. Pool scenes were believable and worth the watch, but about halfway through the movie I really started having a hard time believing in Famke's character, she didn't have a job or a home - just somehow managed to live from poker game to pool game. All the character's in her life seemed a bit over the top, why did all her friends seem to be of a criminal element? How did they arrange to meet in the park? How did he know to go to the pool hall to pick up the letters? Then I realized this was the kid's fantasy Mom that was coming to save him. They don't make it to Canada at the end perhaps because he realizes that he can't really leave - but then he takes another go at it.
