Homicide Review
Homicide is writer/director David_Mamet's exploration of self-identity in a modern society. Using police detective Joe_Mantegna's murder investigation as a framework, Mamet focuses on the psychology of his main characters, and in the process offers up ample amounts of pitch-perfect dialogue. Though the procedural elements of the detective genre are present, Homicide is much richer than a standard genre film, with ample opportunity for sterling performances from Mantegna and supporting cast members William_H._Macy and Ving_Rhames. Despite its low budget, the film has the look of a more expensive production, thanks largely to Roger_Deakins's superb cinematography. There's a considerable amount of detail that becomes increasingly important as the film progresses; though its plot may challenge some viewers, Homicide proves to be a thoroughly rewarding experience.
