This film is definitely not for everyone. If you want special effects, violence, or sexual content. You will not like this film. But, if your willing to give a film a chance for the first 20 min. or so, you'll be rewarded with several rich characters. I get the feeling this story cam from Mamet's past, from men he ran into while growing up. There is a recurring story about a member of the crew who missed
the boat. But the real story revolves around the men who work on this machine (the boat) that pretty much sails itself, and leaves these guys not much to do but talk to each other, and reflect on their own lives. Another great film for my Mamet collection!!!!!
