“David Mamet’s directorial debut is a masterclass in precision, utilizing razor-sharp dialogue and a cool, calculated tone to pull the audience into a labyrinth of psychological manipulation. Lindsay Crouse and Joe Mantegna deliver impeccably calibrated performances that keep the viewer guessing where the truth ends and the con begins. It is essential viewing for fans of cerebral neo-noir who enjoy being toyed with by a filmmaker at the height of his craft.”
