I was mesmerized by the portrayal of the crew of the boat. I live in the Chicago area and the use of so many actors from the area gave true realism to the characters. I know people who have worked the boats on Lake Michigan and this movie reminded me of the experiences they have recounted. Once again, Mamet has told a story in a clean neat fashion.

This is a very good film about the folks on the lower rung of the movie industry. I agree that David Straithairn does not get all the credit due and he really brings this movie home. The acting all around is good and examines what happens when one person out of a group of friends gets a chance at the big time. Rent this movie for a totally enjoyable 2 hours.
