It seemed as though Mamet went out of his way to ensure that everyone other than Chiwetel Ejiofor was two-dimensional; the supporting characters came and went without leaving a ripple in the slow tide of movement towards the inevitable conclusion. It has the feel of an over-edited movie, as though the cutting room floor was awash with the souls of the supporting characters. Can't wait for the "Director's Cut" DVD!

It was like Mamet's "Rocky." I enjoyed your review! I saw this movie last week, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since!
