Being a big fan of WIlliam H Macy I was suprised when my girlfriend brought home a film a few months back that starred the actor. I was delighted when the movie didn’t turn out to be a bust (I honestly wasn’t expecting much). Written by acclaimed writer David Mamet who’s work includes The Verdict (1982) and Wag the Dog (1997) the movie probably didn’t go over too well stateside due to its harsh language and violence.
Be forewarned that the film does go downhill about 75% of the way in. The momentum that leads up to the ending kind of spoils the rest of the film but, in my opinion, the film is worth a look and you won’t be sorry that you have seen it. Co Stars include Julia Stiles, Joe Mantegna, with cameos by George Wendt, Mena Suvari, and Denise Richards.
