Movie Haiku:David Mamet talkathon full of twists & turns, tunnels & blind alleys. Campbell Scott is a young inventor trying to score with a new discovery. Ben Gazzarra is his streetwise boss. Steve Martin is his mentor. A nerve-wracking game played out in Mamet’s trademark elliptical rapid-fire dialogue.
