Review of Edmond (2006) by Lanning : — 29 May 2009
Mamet? Brother. The word "ponderous" comes to mind. That's not good, by the way. "Embarrassing" also seems appropriate. Ah, I have my off times too. When weak writing and weak directing combine to undermine a project, there's rarely any escaping the vortex leading into the abyss.
Acting to the rescue? When the foundation is this feeble, the acting has to be strong to hold the project together. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. Have I ever mentioned that I think William H.
Macy is a very lucky actor? If not, just let me say that Macy puts on a full display of his acting ability in this one. To survive, he has to play to type. He is surviving. It's a borderline miracle.
Can you imagine what someone like Jack Nicholson could have contributed to this piece of borat?
