I always hated this movie, found it unreal with contrived dialogue - till yesterday when I happened to catch it on TV and all of a sudden got it. Vincent Canby said, "It's because of the utterly demonic skill with which these foulmouthed characters carve one another up in futile attempts to stave off disaster." It all came together and I saw what Mamet was trying to do. It's kind of a farce in a way and that's what always eluded me.

Only everything about it.

The closest thing I have to a "complaint" is that Jonathan Pryce isn't in it enough, but I also love the script so much - it's so tightly-written - that I can't think how to jam him in more. And that's really a compliment: the film is SO good that even the supporting players (like Pryce) are top-notch.

I agree. I'm used to seeing Pryce play a far different character type, usually one who is powerful and confident. This role really let his talent shine.

He's pretty meek in Brazil, too; that might be my favourite Pryce role.

Loved it. Great dialogue, brilliant acting.
