Our take

A Jewish detective battles the existential tension between professional duty and religious identity in this fraught procedural from writer-director David Mamet. Starring an ensemble cast of Mamet veterans led by an electric Joe Mantegna, Homicide mounts a searing interrogation of cultural loyalties.
