Alain E The most unsuccessful of the movies based on David Mamet’s plays and probably the one that he would like to eliminate and hide it from his new friends in the Republican Party. I am not sure what is the message of this exercise. A previously conforming man separates from his wife, is victimized by thugs, finds a connection with a woman until he snaps and brutally murders her. Then he is apprehended, he is raped by his cell mate with whom eventually he develops a loving relationship. Maybe Mr Mamet can use one of his columns in the Wall Street Journal to enlighten us.

It was a descent film even though it drags in places. There is a message in the movie about the meaning of life even though I don't 100% understand what it is, but I think that was by design and it's supposed to leave you feeling that way. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Mark H A truly horrible movie...downright evil & rotten. A complete waste of time. Godawful. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Audience Member the sell of edmond is its nihilistic commitment to the cynical relationship the protagonist embodies between himself and the world around one, possessively entitled to the women and the non-white characters he interacts with. the praise you can give it is the rumination on the manic relationship people with general privilege have with those who don't - it's cruel in places and the discomfort comes from WHM's character stepping on the scenery, expecting a world he understood. in certain respects it is a question of what does a worker bee do when he realises he is a worker bee- instead of dismantling the system, he eats those around him. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review max n What an awful movie. All this movie is a guy played by William H. Macy walking around New York City trying to get laid with women, and ends up getting into arguments with everyone he interacts with. And at the end he ends up in prison for killing a couple of people. Really hate this movie. This movie doesn't even have any reason to exist. Completely unwatchable. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review don s A bit reminiscent of the Michael Douglas movie Falling Down, this indie drama based on a David Mamet play is more subtle but much less entertaining. Macy, as usual, is awesome. The downfall here is the story move too slowly and the tragic incidents that befall poor Edmond this night are all of his own making. None of it had to happen and life would have been better had it not. Not much of a moral. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
