There is a teasing quality to Mamet's presentations that reminds me of a skilled magician, meticulously laying out his cards while telling us a story. January 1, 2000 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Regardless of whether the film still delivers its intended zing, it's still hugely satisfying to watch all the moving parts click into place. May 24, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

O roteiro mais previsvel do que Mamet desejaria e seu primeiro trabalho na direo exibe uma teatralidade que ele gradualmente superaria, mas, apesar disso, a complexidade de seus personagens e a dinmica de seus dilogos so admirveis. January 5, 2008 | Rating: 4/5

A conceptual film about con artists, Mamet's feature debut is a deadpan, deviously comic melodrama that proceeds with twists and reversals and builds like a poker game in which the stakes are higher and higher. December 6, 2006 | Rating: B | Full Review…
