Movie Reviews of House of Games
Movie Review: An often unappreciated classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Never a big smash at the box office, this film is one of the best within an undervalued genre in the U.S. A "cat and mouse" thriller, the many twists and turns are only accentuated by the excellent acting performances and tightly woven script. A story line that makes us wonder about ourselves, this story is well told from various perspectives and even though learning the final twist makes additional viewings anti-climatic, one can continue to wonder at our sensibilities and vulnerabilities.Movie Review: Brilliant and surprising
Summary: 5 Stars
It's difficult to write a review of a story with as many twists and turns as "House of Games", but suffice to say that Mamet fans will find the setting familiar -- con men one-upping each other in seedy gambling halls, tough guy talk, house-of-mirrors plot twists. Those who aren't fans of the theater may find the acting, dialogue and pacing of this movie a bit stilted, but in my view it's classic "Mametiana", well worth the time spent watching it.Movie Review: House of Games does not disappoint
Summary: 5 Stars
Some movies you just don't want to end. That is House of Games. It's got a great cast and trap door story line as shady as the smoke rising from a freshly lit smoke. It's a movie that once you've seen, you want to watch it again to see the act unfold even as you know the answers. And of course the name of the director/writer, says it all. You're in for a good ride.Movie Review: Cult Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those movies that many have heard of, but few have seen. I saw it in an :underground" type of theater in Tacoma, WA -- near to where it was filmed, I believe. The genre is a film noir story of a con, of a con, of a con. Dialogue is one-of-a-kind. Should be viewed at least once a year!Movie Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift because I saw the movie when it first came out. It is an excellent movie with great actors. The plot is intriguing. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend you buy this.
