Strong version of David Mamet’s famously controversial play. As a drama, it works – three acts (initial meeting, the complaint has been launched, the guy has been fired and the woman works for "her Group"), two opposing characters, forceful argument, different and vivid dialogue. In terms of political correctness, for lack of a better word, it’s a failure – although the guy is smug and a bit creepy, there’s no doubt the girl has over-reacted and in some cases lied (eg about the rape). Worth listening to/watching/reading, just keep in mind Mamet doesn't do women very well. The bitches are after you, Dave!
