Title: Some plays just should not be turned into films
Review: Some of David Mamet's plays turn out awesome on screen: "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," "Glengary, Glenross". Others, like "Oleanna" and "American Buffalo" just drag on. This probably is a great play to see live in a more intimate setting but on screen it is just painful to watch.These are some of my favorite actors, and they have their moments. Dennis Franz goes on a couple of good rants, like when he realizes he got ripped off. But overall this is just too freaking dull. Pick another film.
