After being impressed with House of Games and
The Spanish Prisoner, I wasn't getting enough of David Mamet,
so I headed straight for Homicide.
It turns out to be a disappointing picture. Any time William H. Macy is cast, he always stinks it up with his phony acting.
It's literally the same thing every time.
The dialogue is terrible, artificial, and not up to Mamet's standard. Then, there's the horribly outdated, contrived
plot with the stupidest twist imaginable. Honestly, I thought for a minute it was going to be a confidence game
all over again, but it never materialized. Of course, the ending is a "yeah, right."
All in all, Homicide has let me down big time.
