David Mamet's first directing effort House of Games is an intimate thriller written in the playwright's signature style: in-your-face character confrontations and almost ritualistically formatted dialogue. A medical professional yearns to break out of the rigid controls set on her life. To help a patient, she goes to a gambling club and inadvertently finds the adventure and danger missing in her life.
