1992 Drama

Digitally remastered and decked out with commentary and extras, this two-disc, tenth-anniversary edition does full justice to David Mamet's classic take on real-estate con artists. Plays usually don't work onscreen. Too talky and constricted. Not this time. Director James Foley delivers Mamet's Pulitzer Prize winner in high style. Pacino and the late Lemmon take the acting honors. But the whole cast excels, notably Alec Baldwin in a role specially written for the film.
