I agree (sorta).

As I said below, his style works better on stage, where it can build a sustained rhythm and intensity and create its own context, than on the screen. (I've seen 3 plays on stage.)

But I do think that it *can* work in film - House of Games, Winslowe Boy (which isn't as stylized and benefits from a stellar cast), and to a lesser extent The Spanish Prisoner and Homocide. But its a dicy balancing act at best.

The screenplays are clever and intelligent. Didn't Mamet also write the screenplay for The Untouchables?
