Speed-the-Plow

The rapid-fire exchanges feel so precise and loaded. I'm curious how much of that was in the script versus the actors' interpretation.

The characters' choices leave you wondering who truly comes out ahead. What do others think Mamet wanted us to take away about ethics in this world?

The industry’s superficial glamour contrasted with the dark dealings underneath. I'm interested in whether Mamet drew from personal experience or aimed to critique a broader cultural obsession.
