Speed-The-Plow - TNT

Making his UK stage debut, Jeff Goldblum more than meets his match as newly appointed head of production Bobby Gould in this super-fast paced revival of David Mamet's vitriolic satire on Hollywood values. The paint's barely dry in his office before his old buddy (Kevin Spacey) blasts in with the force of a tornado on speed, bringing a 24-hour option on a sure-fire prison blockbuster that'll make them millions. But his $500 bet that Gould can't bed his demure temp secretary looks as though it's backfired when Gould is seduced by her enthusiasm for filming a worthy apocalyptic novel instead. This central section flags, but when Spacey and Goldblum are on stage together, sparks fly as these two avaricious, insecure Tinseltown stags lock horns.
