Wissenswertes
Al Pacino wanted to reprise his role of Walter "Teach" Cole for this film, but his schedule, which included films such as Carlito's Way (1993), Heat (1995), Two Bits (1995), and Looking for Richard (1996), had consumed most of his time along with Broadway shows. The producers of this movie could no longer wait for him to reprise the role, and Dustin Hoffman was hired to take his place.

Mamet outdoes himself this time

Adaption of Mamet play is even better on screen. Dustin Hoffman gives the best performance of his career as the protagonist Teach. Dennis Franz is equally good in his first leading role as Donnie, owner of an antique shop. One hell of a well acted movie with great cast, great script, great direction, great plot, great music, and great location. What else could a intelligent moviegoer ask for?
