I hadn't heard of this movie until I saw it on the shelf at the rental store. I was excited because I like Mamet's other movies and William H. Macy and Julia Stiles. But about 20 minutes in, I gave up... Full review

The film is appropriately nasty and bloody at times....does feature a number of sleazy scenes, all of which should help to keep viewers interested, not least due to the fact....Well acted and gripping, probably the main criticism of "Edmond" is.... ... Full Review

Edmond's" last scene is one of the most ferociously appropriate paybacks Mamet has ever devised. Edmond," a new movie from horror specialist Stuart Gordon ("Re-Animator"), based on a play by David Mamet, takes place in modern L.A. It's about a middle-aged white executive--the title character, played by William H. Macy--who wanders one night into a hell of crime and punishment in search of his manhood, love and some cheap oral sex. ... Full Review

Best bits: Edmond's conversion from normal bloke to strangely innocent killer is surprisingly convincing given the film's sub 80 minute running time: this is a film that packs a lot into very little. The racist language is a little hard to take: Edmond's attempts at a diatribe is as disturbing as it is unconvincing - well, from a white middle class viewer's perspective - and, as such, feels gratuitous. ...

David Mamet's play about a humdrum businessman undergoing a spectacular midlife crisis was first performed in 1982, and its exposure of vicious prejudices beneath white-collar blandness seems passé in this movie version, which premiered in 2005. ... Full Article
