Poolman could be a first and last for Pine.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Chris Pine's directorial debut, Poolman, disappoints critics. Poolman, in which Pine also stars as the lead, follows pool worker and would-be philosopher Darren Barrenman, who suddenly finds his day job at the Tahitian Tiki apartments. Things take an unexpected turn when he uncovers the greatest water heist in history.
Unfortunately, Pine's first foray as a director doesn't impress the critics. As of writing, Poolman has scored a rotten 11% Tomatometer on the popular aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. This is only based on nine reviews, however, so the score could still fluctuate as more reviews get compiled. As of right now, this score marks his career-worst as the previous holder used to be his 2006 comedy Just My Luck, which had a 14%.
Poolman Is Pine’s Career-Worst Scored Movie Ever While only nine critics have rated the movie thus far, an initial score just barely in the double digits will likely seal Poolman's fate. Despite a few poorly rated movies in his career, Pine also boasts numerous highly acclaimed projects, including this year’s Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which holds a 97%.While Poolman’s premise could be an interesting LA-based mystery, critics have so far thought otherwise.
Sadly, Poolman’s early reviews could be the kiss of death for Pine's directing career. While a debut feature could be forgivably flawed, a score this bad is unlikely to give studios faith in Pine for future directorial ventures. Pine has a solid, consistent acting career behind him, but if Poolman proves to be as chaotic as the critics say, Pine’s first effort in directing could also be his last.
