    The most pure of Mamet's works to come to the screen.

    Brought to the screen awkwardly but ardently by Mamet-actor supreme Joe Mantegna in his feature-directing debut.

    So fractured and so awkwardly staged that end result is an uninvolving film that’s dramatically inert and artistically shapeless.
