Film Review: Homicide

Homicide (David Mamer, 1991)

David Mamet has never failed to amuse me (yet). The central character in this film is a good cop, working in the homicide section. It's no brainer that the film should be about homicide, or so I thought. In a David Mamet film, there's always a clever twist. In this film, homicide is just a scratch on the surface. There's more to this film that what it seems. For example: What makes a good cop who wants all of his assignments done succumb to betrayal? It's no longer about homicide.

Rating: 3.5/4.0
