En bricka i spelet

House of Games

At its core, the film contains a devastating demolition of the notion of trust...

There is a teasing quality to Mamet's presentations that reminds me of a skilled magician, meticulously laying out his cards while telling us a story.

Mamet has created a suspenseful, psychologically complex film that constantly plays tricks on the viewer as it draws him into its milieu of insightful deceit.

...brings a romantic sort of intrigue and mystery to the smoky back rooms where fortunes are lost to cardsharps and con artists.
