Product: Homicide [VHS]
Rating: 4.0
Confusing on first viewing.
You need a strong constitution to watch this more than once, but watching it several times is essential to understanding what's going on. Owning is better than renting in that sense, because you need to take the time and hash your way through a very difficult plot progression. Different people get different benefits from this movie, and, as some of the other reviews suggest, some people get nothing whatsoever out of it, but that's not atypical of Mamet's style. I hope to become a filmmaker, and I hope I can be a third as revealing, not about the people on the screen, but about the people watching the movie after it's done.
