Review of House of Games (1987) by Jarryd R — 21 Dec 2006

Once you get used to Mamet's slightly odd, deliberately wooden dialogue, there's a wonderful movie here. Fascinating characters played beautifully by the lead actors, with a very satisfying, if not exactly uplifting, ending.

This was one of those movies that just keeps me interested all the way through, even though it's certainly not nonstop action. Interesting character flick.
