Plot: Three inner-city losers want to rob a valuable coin from a seedy second-hand junk shop.
Despite co-starring one of my favorite actors, Dennis Franz, this is a dull dog of a movie. A filmed Mamet play with two other actors: Dustin Hoffman and Sean Nelson. I can see why this was an award winning play. But as a movie, its a complete bore. Filmed in one room, its non-stop yakky yak. And its just the kind of story I hate.
Typical Dialogue:
Teach: We're talking about money for Christ's sake, we're talking about cards. Friendship is friendship and a wonderful thing and I'm all for it. I never said different, and you know me on this thing, but let's just keep it separate, OK? Let's keep the two apart and we can deal with each other like some human beings.
