“Dealing with the mob is always a gamble.”

In 1988, an elderly shoe repairman named Gino (Don Ameche) is told to confess to a murder he did not commit, and a low-level Mob errand boy, Jerry (Joe Mantegna), is ordered to watch him until it is done. Then someone mistakes Gino for a Mafia boss, and the two are suddenly treated with a respect neither has earned. David Mamet writes it all in short, clipped lines that hold back more than they say.
