What a horrible script. Full of trite action, cliched dialogue, and useless filler. Thank God this was not followed in the actual movie. Rich (6 out of 10 )
A well written script. However the story is rather weak and predictable, slightly improved upon in the movie but not by much.Petrovski (6 out of 10 )
The script is quite weak. The movie was half decent, more glare than actual drama. De Niro and Reno both brought a good performance. The ending was predictable and Dietra (Irish girl) has the worst accent.frood (8 out of 10 )
The script was non-traditional. Every character had a backstory that was not told in the film, with Mamet leaving that up to the imagination. It was beautiful in its simplicity, and very Japanese in that much was done without blatantly telling you. Deirdre's accent was actually authenticl- Natascha McElhone's mother was Irish.
