Seemingly mild-mannered businessman Edmond Burke (William H. Macy) visits a fortuneteller and hears a remark that spurs him to leave his wife abruptly and seek what is missing from his life. Encounters with strangers and unsavory people weaken the barriers encompassing his long-suppressed rage, until Edmond explodes in violence.

Critics Consensus

Despite an electrifying performance by William H. Macy, David Mamet's one-act morality play translates poorly into a film that is overburdened by dialogue.

It's disturbing and challenging and will worry away at you... But, that said, it is its own genre, is peculiarly riveting, and is only 87 minutes.

4/5

This is a small film with a big payback, like a series of tableaux that illustrate how a mildmannered Mr Everyman can become viciously untamed.

1/5

It plays like a low-cal Falling Down, with all the rage of Michael Douglas's office malcontent but none of his dark humour. Possibly the weakest thing Mamet has ever written.

...an amateurish, context-free trainwreck devoid of positive attributes...

8/10

"Edmond" is beyond black comedy, it's a comedy in almost total stygian darkness. A comedy where the laughs make you cough up razor blades.

What an awful movie. All this movie is a guy played by William H. Macy walking around New York City trying to get laid with women, and ends up getting into arguments with everyone he interacts with. And at the end he ends up in prison for killing a couple of people. Really hate this movie. This movie doesn't even have any reason to exist. Completely unwatchable.

A bit reminiscent of the Michael Douglas movie Falling Down, this indie drama based on a David Mamet play is more subtle but much less entertaining. Macy, as usual, is awesome. The downfall here is the story move too slowly and the tragic incidents that befall poor Edmond this night are all of his own making. None of it had to happen and life would have been better had it not. Not much of a moral.

A decent black comedy in the vain of Falling Down. William H. Macy was electrifying in this role.
