A movie which makes you root for the secondary character's death. Not one of Mamet's best, but watchable. The girl similar.to one of those women who entrap famous athletes to get pregnant for the purpose of getting money. Not much of her makes sense to the reasonable person. Was the point that she was mentally disturbed but she still was able to falsely smear a person out of their livelihood? If there was a deeper intention it missed the mark. In addition the dialogue was long winded and horribly boring at times. She might have been one of the most annoying characters ever in a movie.

For better Mamet style and story, check The Spanish Prisoner, American Buffalo or House of Cards (plus of course Glengarry Glen Ross).
