Re: What do you think of David Mamet?

I think Mamet is a clever writer, but that really isn't saying much, is it? IMO, the best thing he has done by far is Glengary Glenross (sp?). I think that's a minor masterpiece. Funny you brought this up, I just watched Heist tonight. As is the norm with Mamet, there is some snappy, clever dialogue, but something left to be desired in the storytelling. Just not memorable, I guess. Maybe a little too clever for his own good. Another remarkable performance by Gene Hackman, though, who has got to be the greatest actor in the world.
