The movie crackles with energy and life, and with throwaway slang dialogue by Mamet, who takes realistic speech patterns and simplifies them into a kind of hammer-and-nail poetry. December 13, 2017 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

In Homicide's electric pop of language, Mamet provides a grand kind of stage for the ugly catalyst of jealousy and racial hatred that curdles in just about every character's mind. December 13, 2017 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…

It's intelligent and the interest in the story carries over into the anticipation of the audience. Only the anti-climatic ending is a little weaker than one would have liked or desired and not up to the challenge as are most endings of Mamet films. December 13, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

But, there's also little doubt in my mind that "Homicide" is pure Mamet in its uncut form, and that's a pretty great thing. December 13, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Perhaps it could be argued that Mamet's plays are notable for their realism, certainly Mamet's films are distinguished by their theatricality. December 13, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The experience of spending time with the 'Homicide' team is so pleasurable that it's disappointing to be reminded of the stringent requirements of "plot" and "resolution." December 13, 2017 | Rating: 83/100
