House of Games (Criterion Collection) (DVD)

Lindsay Crouse, Joe Mantegna. David Mamet gets comfy in the director's chair for this stylish story of a well-known psychologist who is slowly drawn into the world of high-stakes poker when she's conned, while trying to help a patient with heavy gambling debts. Intrigued by the psychological drama, she reads each player like a book-but who's really getting scammed? 1987/color/102 min/NR.
