House of Games and Trust

House of Games, David Mamet’s movie, was a great last week.
We had opportunity to learn about how a con ma works.
On the movie a well known psychiatric, specialized in compulsive behavior in an attempt to help her patient gets involved with a charlatan.
The movie has intense scenes; trust is the key, in my opinion the director incite us to think. Funny scenes such as the angry men that gained the game was asking for his money, showing his gun and we find that it was a squirt gun.
The scene and suspense that made us to believe the gambler was really up to start shutting everyone because of the money. Was trust into the game?
I did believe that the gun was real, until I saw the water dripping out, so did the psychiatrist.
Well done movie.
