House of Games (1987) Absolutely awful. 1/10
The Spanish Prisoner (1997) I assume it's deliberate that everyone acts wooden in this, and he just HAD to cast the wife... 6/10
Heist (2001) Loved the plot twists in this. 7/10
Wag the Dog (1997) Awful 1/10
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) A collection of fantastic speeches but a bit of a chore to sit through the whole thing. 7/10
The Edge (1997) I remember this one being pretty good. 8/10
Hannibal (2001) 6/10
About Last Night... (1986) Barely remember this. 5/10

Mamet! Excellent, he’s one of my favorite current writer-directors, in many ways the modern version of Billy Wilder.
Of those I’ve seen…
1. The Edge—absolutely superb, very Mametian; he’s far more the auteur here than is director Lee Tamahori.
2. State and Main—very funny, the twist near the end completely surprised me.
3. The Spanish Prisoner—Martin’s excellent. Great twist halfway through.
4. Heist—solid thriller.
5. House of Games—tons of fun, but the end twist is built up so much and isn’t as shocking as Mamet’s later efforts.
6. Wag the Dog—an excellent concept but, after the opening, a weak and overly cynical execution.

3. The Spanish Prisoner—Martin’s excellent. Great twist halfway through. Yeah I really like Steve Martin in that. I gave a copy to my mom years ago. As soon as she saw Steve Martin on the cover she burst out laughing. I guess she cant take him seriously in a drama/thriller. |

(1986) 1) Hannibal. Just an incredible movie, though I so not consider it a Mamet film 2) Heist. Great plot, and an incredible performance by Gene Hackman 3) Wag the Dog, though not Mamet 4) The Verdict, although again, I don't consider it Mamet 5) The Edge, a great movie with GREAT lead performances I didn't list Glengary Glen Ross despite its great performances because at the end of the movie (as in Clockwork Orange), you wind up feeling sorry for a few of the most despicable characters in movie history) |

You left off Things Change?
Which is one of the most original ideas for a gangster/mafia picture ever made.
