Haven't seen Homicide...

I saw House of Games. I didn't think the ending was particularly neat--at least not as neat as you're led to anticipate--and once again I just didn't care for the direction. I want to like David Mamet, and I'm never averse to watching his movies (for some reason), but he really grates. I found The Spanish Prisoner to be endlessly annoying. I just don't get his direction. Maybe I was somewhat absolutist in my post above; I'd be curious to hear what you find appealing about his direction, in particular. Because, like I said, besides that I think his movies have all the parts necessary to be really fine.
