David Mamet possibly writing “The Force”

Deadline is reporting that “The Untouchables” screenwriter David Mamet is in talks to pen the upcoming police drama “The Force”. The film, which will be directed by “Logan”’s James Mangold, is based on the Don Winslow novel of the same name and “tells the story of a corrupt detective in the NYPD’s most elite crime-fighting unit. Sgt. Denny Malone is forced to choose between his family, his partners and his life. To stop the city’s long-simmering racial tensions from exploding, he must reconcile the idealistic guardian he still views himself to be with the corrupt cop he’s become. He then finds himself attacked on all sides: Harlem drug gangs, the mob he’s in bed with, the brother cops he’s about to destroy, the mayor’s office who fears what he knows and who he can implicate, the relentless federal investigators who want to put him behind bars but, most of all, his own demons.” What do you think of David Mamet possibly writing “The Force”?
