"Homicide" is my favorite Mamet film and is as reeifying and disturbing an examination of evil as "Chinatown', another masterpiece. Mamet's favorite actor Joe Montegna plays Detective Gold. a seasoned Baltimore Police homicide investigator and hostage negotiator who is ordered off an important case (finding bad guy Ving Rhames) to help a wealthy Jewish family who believes they have been targeted. A Jew himself, Gold believes the new case to be frivolous. until he starts to investigate it and is gradulally seduced into militant Jewish pursuits. Gold's partner Sully (William H. Macy) ridicules Gold's increasing distraction from the original case. A host of usual Mamet regulars appear as backup characters, including wife Rebecca Pigeon. Wonderful Mamet dialog, with great lines like "FBI couldn't find Joe Louis in a bowl of rice!"
