Firstly it's not a 10, it's more an 8. But tue 1s and 2s it does not deserve.

This is a brief look at a broken system which can quickly drive someone to madness in a falling-down esque way.

The acting is precise and the monologues are engrossing and believable. It's cold and ruthless and meant to be drawn out and dark! You need to imagine yourself sat in the audience in a dark theatre watching only 2 ppl on a stage ignoring all that's around you and totally delving into their world. If you try it to look at this as a film then you will misunderstand and belittle it. But this is a triumph and a testament to the creators. I'm guilty of not following Mamet's work but now I'm intrigued and shall be driving into his back-catalogue.

This is not cinema at its best and it's not meant to be. It's designed to be a mere snapshot of a handful of characters over an unknown time period. We don't need a backstory or building of characters or any real plot. We just need to sit and admire how a basic premise here can open our eyes, albeit for a very short time, to catastrophic events that could happen to literally anyone given the circumstances.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
