Homicide (1991)

No not the greatest television series of the 1990's (this pre-dates that by about two years) but rather a typically well done David Mamet movie. Joe Mantegna is a Baltimore homicide detective torn between two cases, one involving a high profile multiple cop killer, and the other the death of an elderly Jewish women. Like the television series, whose relationship to this film I can't really establish but there surprisingly similar, this film is gritty, insightful, and boasts some powerful acting and writing. I won't say much save that this is really good yet under seen, worth your time. 4 1/2 out of 5.
