Critic Reviews

Mr. Mantegna, who as an actor is one of the leading interpreters of Mr. Mamet's work, gives generous room to the movie's first-rate ensemble.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Mantegna gives us just enough detail, enough exterior shots, so that we feel we're on a ship. All the rest is conversation and idleness. The lake boat is a lot like life.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

A must-see for Mamet fans.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

Mamet's fixation on language is, nonetheless, more effective onstage than onscreen, where the technical and visual requirements distract from the sounds of the words -- the heart of Mamet's work.Full Review

Feels a bit flat and underdeveloped.Full Review
