Solitary Man

Gordon Gekko’s horny brother stars with Sarandon again in Wall Street 3: Money Took a Nap. Douglas’ performance is entertaining, and he has remarkable chemistry with each co-star. Jesse Eisenbeouf learns to network socially while Parker’s lonely housewife goes Red with rage. Still, storyline isn’t compelling and ending feels forced.

Heist (2001)

Mamet’s highbrow dialogue slapped on an overly complex, perpetually twisty story. Compelling to the half-way point then loses steam. Decent performances of unsympathetic characters don’t particularly help the film. Great source of one-liner quotes and clever heist scenes. Otherwise a generally uninteresting crime caper. Totally inane plotting of female lead.
