Not terrible. I think David Mamet is a pretty good writer, but a lesson in the meaning of life mixed with gay prison sex and senselessly killing Julia Stiles may not be the best stage for it. Then again, it would have been a pretty dull film otherwise. William H. Macy plays th...( read more)
Mamet? Brother. The word "ponderous" comes to mind. That's not good, by the way. "Embarrassing" also seems appropriate. Ah, I have my off times too.When weak writing and weak directing combine to undermine a project, there's rarely any escaping the vortex leading into

A latently racist and mentally addled accountant (William H. Macy) leaves his wife, tours the NYC commercial sex trade, and ends up in prison. Macy's performance is interesting, but not interesting enough to inspire the viewer to try to make sense of David Mamet's confused scrip...( read more)
William H. Macy plays with brilliance another lonely wanderer of the night, tired of his pathetic existence. if only Stuart Gordon had more talent behind the cameras, and the photography wasn't that bright. In the end, it's uneven, and the violence a bit cartoonish, but the stren...( read more)
Uneven and at times preposterous study of a dissolutioned man's descent into the dark side. A starry cast service Mamet's vision.
Became an instant favourite film of mine after my first viewing. That is rare for me, so I knew I'd found something special. Very funny, scary, weird and powerful film. It has a perfect pace throughout, and every scene is interesting. Brilliant!
Based on reviews I had read, I guess I expected this movie to be a bit more f'd up then it was. But instead of the movie, it was Edmond and the cast of characters he comes across in his one-night wanderings that were the messed up ones. A disturbingly real account of just how s...( read more)
Dissapointing. For something that could have been so interesting, powerfull and thought inspiring, it was very dull and uneventful.
Wow! This movie was very interesting. Willam H. Macy gives a perfomance I will soon not forget! The story is about a man who leaves his wife and then goes out to have some sex action. Along the way he meets up with some very interesting people. He then goes on a talking rampage w...( read more)
There is no actor more at ease with battered nerves than William H. Macy. full review
It may be too bleak for most, and as befits a movie based on a one-act play (written by Mamet in 1982), it can be speechy. full review
William H. Macy, Joe Mantegna and a number of other true pros manage to keep straight faces all the way through this woozy, self-important stew of lurid nonsense. full review
Fails to offer any insight into its main character's motivations. full review
