Adapted from David Mamet's play about a grad student (played by the author's half brother, Tony) who spends a summer aboard a steel freighter, Lake Boat is the worst kind of Mamet -- all gruff male signifiers that add up to, well, a pile of gruff male signifiers. Throw in endless tracking shots of the container ship, some salty sea stories, and a gaggle of scenery-chewing character actors, and you've got a quick and easy answer to why this directorial debut from Joe Mantegna has been on the shelf after a very limited run in 2001.
