The Winslowe Boy is better...

65.26.185.184

...much much better, than State & Main, although S&M is worth a view.

House of Games is pretty darned wonderful and The Spanish Prisoner has its moments. Homocide was a little harder for me to appreciate.

The same writing style, with staccato, repetitive (same say rhythmic) line readings is also a hallmark of Mamet's plays. It builds momentum in live performance ans is less effective onscreen IMO.

Mamet's films are uneven, but I'd still rather see them than most cineplex fodder - it's more fun for me to see an interesting film that's less than perfect than a perfectly mediocre blockbuster.
