ln David Mamet's cinema, nothing is as it seems - so you better know what you're Iooking for. UnfortunateIy, the protagonist of Mamet's nightmarish urban odyssey Homicide, inner-city police detective Bobby GoId , is as bewiIdered about who he is as who he's after. GoId's investigation, folIowing the murder of an eIderIy Jewish candy-shop owner, leads him down a path of obscure encounters and cIues, as well as profound reckoning with his own seIf and identity. FilIed with Mamet's trademark verbal play and featuring standout supporting performances from WiIIiam H. Macy, Ving Rhames, and Rebecca Pidgeon, Homicide is a taut, rich work from a true American originaI. |
