American Buffalo by David Mamet

4.0

The American Dream turned violent, Mamet sets up three rough characters preparing for a burglary on a coin collection. The dialogue is sharp, profane, and ridden in a blue-collar overtone that helps to define the other side of the American Dream. After much deliberation, loyalty and integrity in business and friendships are pushed to the breaking point, and the preparation turns violent, fringing on dangerous. Doubting and questioning each other, madness surfaces and the three men never end up carrying out their original plan.
