| 12.29.09 | DVD | It's kind of weird how David Mamet is known as one of our best writers and so much is said about his language and his genius and everything like that, but every movie he makes is basically the same story. Different setting, same story. At least the films of his that I've seen. So it's kind of weird watching homicide detectives investigating murders and immediately suspecting some elaborate con which must just never happen at all. Maybe it happened once. So this is about jews I guess. It's kind of a weird movie. I like the job part of it, I didn't like the con part of it and how Mantegna gets sucked in. Eh. It'd be cool to see Mamet do a movie where the main character doesn't end up 100% fucked. |
