Critic Reviews

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
O roteiro é mais previsível do que Mamet desejaria e seu primeiro trabalho na direção exibe uma teatralidade que ele gradualmente superaria, mas, apesar disso, a complexidade de seus personagens e a dinâmica de seus diálogos são admiráveis.

James Kendrick, Q Network Film Desk
a fascinating psychological profile and a cunning thriller, and the brilliance of the film is the way in which Mamet makes the two facets of his story work together

Kam Williams, NewsBlaze
Since it would be unfair to spoil a moment of this perfectly-plotted masterpiece, all you need to know is that it landed on this critic's Best Movies of the Millennium List in 2000.

Since it would be unfair to spoil even a moment of this perfectly-plotted masterpiece, all you need to know is that it landed on this critic's Best Movies of the Millennium List in 2000.

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
A conceptual film about con artists, Mamet's feature debut is a deadpan, deviously comic melodrama that proceeds with twists and reversals and builds like a poker game in which the stakes are higher and higher.
