Among the impressive amount of good scripts written by Mamet there is a handful of them that remain above the mainstream average, such as House of games, The things change, The Spanish prisoner, Homicide, Oleanna, Heist but certainly none has been so devastating, brutal and existentialist like ...

Its a beautiful movie that ...
