Definitely a Mamet film. Tightly written with a career performance from William H. Macy. It's a shame that he did Fargo two years after this and got stuck in that bumbling idiot niche for the majority of his career, because he excels in serious, dramatic roles like this one. I imagine it was Mamet's intention to do so, but the only big complaint I have with the film is Debra Eisenstadt who delivers one of the most unbearably annoying performances I've ever seen. Still, Mamet's work is always in the writing and in that respect, it is magnificent. He does a great job of using the weather as a means of foreshadowing in the conversations. He doesn't show shots of the outside or force the audience to pay attention to the weather, but when Macy and Eisenstadt make what seems to be a positive step in their relationship by talking about the nice weather you can hear the rain start to pour outside and the thunder start raging. Incredible writing and a great performance from Macy make this well worth watching.
