  As I said below, his style works better on stage, where it can build a sustained rhythm and intensity and create its own context, than on the screen. (I've seen 3 plays on stage.)

  But I do think that it *can* work in film - House of Games, Winslowe Boy (which isn't as stylized and benefits from a stellar cast), and to a lesser extent The Spanish Prisoner and Homocide. But its a dicy balancing act at best.

  The screenplays are clever and intelligent. Didn't Mamet also write the screenplay for The Untouchables?

  Just finished watching Spartan. I think it's the first Mamet that is really bad film-making all-around.
