Be thankful it's not longer; at 80 minutes, one may still derive some perverse pleasure from the silliness of it all.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Overview
Seemingly mild-mannered businessman Edmond Burke visits a fortuneteller and hears a remark that spurs him to leave his wife abruptly and seek what is missing from his life. Encounters with strangers and unsavory people weaken the barriers encompassing his long-suppressed rage, until Edmond explodes in violence.

Quintessential David Mamet: brainy, playful, engaging.
Marta Barber, Miami Herald

The last handful of scenes, featuring Bokeem Woodbine as an acquaintance of Edmond's, are worth the price of a ticket.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

As with most Mamet scripts, this includes multiple monologues, and the cast delivers them with fervor. But the delivery can't conceal that these diatribes are directed at topics that no longer are pertinent.

Go, by all means, but be prepared to take a beating.
