I just finished watching the film, and what bothers me the most is, CKR's Mamet is pretty much the ONLY reason I could stand to watch it at all, and yet, the whole way through, I'm thinking, "Mamet has no function in this movie at all". It feels like he was written in JUST to make the movie interesting. Everything that he does, plotwise, could have been skipped over using the other available characters/actors. So I'm of two minds where CKR in this movie is concerned -- glad he was in it but half-way wishing he wasn't so that I wouldn't have to watch a crappy movie in the first place. ;)
All that said, I adore Mamet and his dancing and his rings and his awesome pimp jacket. Thanks again for the post!
