    This film didn't get raving reviews; however, I feel that it definitely had some merit. Though the plot wasn't as focused as I would have liked, it made me think. There is alot lurking beneath the surface of this movie - if you are willing to dig.

    not as shocking as you might of heard... though a fine film it didnt sit right with me. i kept hearing how just down right disturbing this film was...and in truth... its not gordons darkest it didnt have the rawness it needed it felt a little to clean cut... in a way it was a cle...( read more)an cut new york seting of king of the ants in a way only more about sex. it is worth a watch but if your looking for a darker film...go with king of the ants from gordon and then you will know what i mean...better yet watch both back to back to see what i mean...but great cast and a oh so wonderful cameo by jeffery combs that you cant help but looove...same with joe montana a great cameo there too...best parts of the movie and closer to the ending with william... why he didnt get at least a nomination for some thing is beyond me...will... you redemed yourself for JP 3... thank the lord satan or who ever the hell you fucking prey too...

    Good movie but also disturbing. William H Macy does a great job as do all the other actors in mostly very small roles... mainly Mena Suvari, Julia Stiles, Bokeem Woodbine and Bai Ling. Denise Richards was bearable I guess. It's a short movie at around 1 hr 22 mins but a lot happe...( read more)ns in that short time. I would say it is a pretty dark film, but worth watching.

    A less than mediocre film that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Macy's character slowly snaps into a world of chaos that is not particularly interesting or believable.

    It's like a horrible rip-off of "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Falling Down."

    Don't be fooled by the ...( read more)cast. Other than Macy, the other big name stars (Stiles, Suvari, Montegna and Richards) are only it the film for a few minutes and have pretty much pointless roles.

    Two stars simply for Macy's performance which is slightly above average. Not worth the time. Sorry Mr. Mamet.

    For the second time this week I've been disappointed by a film, which has a trailer that looks really good.
    Seeming a lot like a late B grade version of Michael Douglas's "Falling Down', this up in the air, over acted rhetorical story should have stayed where it was intended: the...( read more) stage.

    An extremely edgy film that kept me riveted the whole time. Reminded me of 'Falling Down" a little. Its one of those movies that ends without really resolving anything.

    I don't know exactly why I didn't like this movie. William H. Macy is very good, and Julia Stiles, probably one of the best actresses in Hollywood, is also great. Their scene together is probably the best one in the movie. But the story seemed slow, and confusing, and really n...( read more)ot all that interesting. It was really hard to root for Edmond at times; he was a sad character, but not always a sympathetic character. Overall, not really worth the time, which is a little bit of a disappointment considering who the actors were.

    Spécial, et troublant... William H. Macy est tout simplement incroyable dans son rôle. Un fil qui a été sous-estimé par le public moyen, mais qui est tout de même intéressant. À ne pas prendre à la légère, et ayez le coeur solide.

    It really pains me to rate this movie as high as I did. But, it gets the rating it did for William H. Macy's performance even though he annoyed the shit out of me. No I take that back. This is getting the rating it is getting solely because of Mena Suvari in a really nice see thr...( read more)ough lace number.

    This movie really blew and of course I should have known better because I had never heard anything about it. Basically, this is what the movie is about. You follow William H. Macy, who early in the movie leaves his wife, you follow him around trying to get laid. Then when ever he is about to he says oh that's way too much. Then he gets robbed, beats the shit out of a pimp....finally gets laid then kills the girl that he got laid by. Then harrasses an older black lady, then gets thrown in jail for murder and then gets in bed with his cell mate. That basically sums it up. I'm sure you all want to go out and rent this movie now. I don't recommend it at all. Just take my word for it please.

    This is not a film for you if you don't have a strong stomach. If you appreciate films that are challenging and the actions of its protagonists are not always clear then this could be for you.

    Following Bill Macy's Edmond on a night out in the seedy parts of town is compellin...( read more)g stuff. At the start of the film he has a chance meeting with a fortune teller which leads to him walking out on his wife and into the night. The assorted deadbeats that he encounters in an effort to get laid make for uncomfortable viewing. Ultimately his actions lead to tragedy for which he will pay a heavy price.

    Bill Macy is exceptional in this. Watching him change from the mild mannered man he is at the beginning to the lunatic he becomes is spellbinding stuff. Add in Mamet's dialogue and a host of great actor's including Fat Tony himself makes for a good viewing.

    I had really high hopes for this, but I was kind of let down, for the couple of the scenes that do work, they are amazing, and william H. Macy is amazing all around, but so much of this movie seems fake, unrealistic, and flat out right theathrical. It could have been a masterpeic...( read more)e, but instead were only handed a few glispes mix in with a pile. But those few scenes make it watchable.
