I went on a mostly blind date around the time this came out. We traded emails beforehand and it happened that we both liked David Mamet films, so we decided to go see this one and have dinner afterwards to discuss it. A great, nerdy idea for a date.
…
I remember nothing else about this dinner or person other than how terribly uncomfortable it was, just a man and woman chatting about a movie where a man savagely murders a woman immediately after their first date.
There was no second date.
But it wasn’t all bad - this movie helped me realize that maybe I don’t like David Mamet all that much after all.
