Title: Great movie
Review: Melding 'Death of a Salesman' with 'Taxi Driver' and Mamet's own distinctive writing, this is a truly brilliant movie with a fantastic cast and a brilliant script. The text is really sharp and well-executed and challenging to the viewer, and we get top-notch performances across the board, particularly from Jack Lemmon, superb as Levine, the character most resembling Miller's Willy. This is somewhere in between Mamet's own arty, leftfield tendencies and a mainstream gritty urban movie and the combination works well, popularising Mamet's sometimes alinenating work. Top stuff.
