Had I never seen a David Mamet film, I might have given this 5 stars. I'm giving it 4 because it was classic Mamet, so already being a fan, its unpredictability was predictable. At least this time, Mamet left the audience guessing regarding the convoluted conspiracy - how much was staged, and how much was real? In the end it didn't matter, because morality and principle prevailed over all else.
