this be a riveting film and one that really draw me in . i be a big fan of william h. macy and and he put in a wonderful performance . his great likeability and couple with the way his character break the fourth wall and really give me a sense of complicity in his action . i find myself wait tensely for the whole house of card to come collapse down around him ( and by extension myself and a his confidante and silent witness ) . it take several minute for me to relax once the film have end and i be so wrap up in it . good performance all around and too and not just with macy . arkin be quite good and a be cromwell ( he be surprisingly fierce ) . in short and i highly recommend this film to any fan of macy and or or the murder mystery . but you may want to prepare to feel a little guilty .
