Another successful play conversion from a David Mamet play, with Dustin Hoffman replacing Al Pacino in the chief role. Maybe in this case the stage production would have been a superior viewing experience but there is still a lot to enjoy in the cinematic version. Some further strong supporting actors, get to grips with a wordy but engrossing dialog. Not as powerful as 'Glengarry G.R'' but 'cut from the same cloth' and certainly a worthy companion piece.
