Is this the best film directed by Mamet?

Just watched it and I am totally underwhelmed. The dialogue is trying to be too clever- relentlessly, self consciously. The acting is stuttered, its as if I am watching a play, not cinema. Is this the best film of Mamet?

No, in my opinion not even the third best.
The best of them all is ""House of Games""

And The Spanish Prisoner was pretty good.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar and doesn't.

I suggest you watch Glengarry Glenn Ross; that one is to me well above the rest

No. It is just okay. His best directed in my opinion was Spartan
