David Mamet, the acclaimed playwright of such modern classics as "The Untouchables", "The Postman Always Rings Twice" and "Glengarry Glen Ross"... now delivers his most scorching expose on the seething underbelly of urban American life.
Dustin Hoffman and NYPD Blue's Dennis Franz are two low-lifes aiming for one last chance at success - a straight forward heist involving a valuable coin collection. But nothing's straight forward when scheming trouble-maker Sean Nelson muscles in on the operation... and sets off a chain of double crossing, back-stabbing and betrayal.
Written in blood, sweat and tears, American Buffalo crackles with riveting dialogue and captures the claustrophobia and grittiness of desperate men in desperate times.
