Like yourself, I've had this film on VHS and yet it's not one of Mamet's films that I've watched many times. Checking it out again after all this time made me look at the film in a new light and I enjoyed it a lot more. Nice to see Criterion giving this their typical deluxe treatment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-87132575051153544242009-09-18T14:23:01.063-04:002009-09-18T14:23:01.063-04:00There are two writer/directors in particular that ...There are two writer/directors in particular that I'll watch (among other reasons), no matter what, just for a chance to <i>listen</i> to their dialogue spoken by the actors. One is Quentin Tarantino, and the other is David Mamet. Their written words are just magic for the ears and mind- that and their creative ability for the use of epithets sprinkled so generously among syllables.<br /><br />I remember I once had this on VHS. Glad to see it back, and with the <i>Criterion</i> folks, no doubt. This story really puts the protagonist, and audience, threw the old ringer, too. Great stuff.
