House of Games

I finally got around to watching House of Games. Netflix is great. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't rank it more than an okay (3 stars out of 5).

By David Mamet it was nominated for a best screen play Golden Globe, but I don't think it's among Mamet's best work. I'm a big Mamet fan, I have been since he was a small time playwrite doing stuff for neighborhood theatre in Chicago in the 1970's. I've never seen anything by him that I didn't enjoy, but this just isn't one of his best.
