Title: Revolting film should be put in the trash where it belongs
Product review: "Edmond" will certainly test your levels of tolerance for foul language, racist epiphets, and violence - sexual or otherwise. It's meant to be visceral but it just comes across as gratuitous - not to mention tasteless.It's a filmization of a 1982 David Mamet play and reflects is stagey origins in its claustophobic sets and artificial situations. The descent that Edmond (played by William H. Macy) takes from respectability to madness is not convincing and one is continually asking "what exactly is the point?"."Edmond" is hopelessly dated and shallow and it was a big mistake to resurrect it on screen. This low budget film leaves you with a really bad taste in the mouth. Hold your nose and put this putrid mess in the trash where it belongs.
