Member Rating:  
David Mamet's award-winning play about a group of desperate real estate agents comes to the big screen from director James Foley. In a role created specifically for the movie, Alec Baldwin appears as a sales motivator, informing the group of hard-luck salesmen that they must compete in a sales contest where the losers will be fired. The agents work their same tired leads, until one hatches a scheme to burglarize the office, steal the leads, and sell them to a rival. Featuring a cast that includes Al Pacino as the office's sales leader, Jack Lemmon as an elderly loser, Alan Arkin and Ed Harris as frustrated salesmen, Kevin Spacey as the harassed office manager, and Jonathan Pryce as a client, Glengarry Glen Ross is, at its core, a character study about a group of men whose time has passed. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

    This was an excellent movie with a group of outstanding actors. I've always enjoyed any movie with Jack Lemmon. The story reminded me so much of the dog-eat-dog world of sales. The movie kept your interest right to the end with many intense moments and definitely worth the rental.

    Good for a watch. Understated, in view of the all-star cast, mostly playing to their trademark roles. Some of the reviews suggest that the movie is inadequate because of the depressing situation the characters face - that really misses the point (and welcome to reality!). It is never really clear if the real estate sales are a flim-flam or not, and it doesn't really matter. The managers won;t risk turning these loser salesmen loose on the "real leads" (the Glengarry files) until they prove they can sell using the tired old leads (which, we learn towards the end, the managers know are bogus) - and if they can't make the sales, they are fired. in their own ways, the salesmen do what they think they need to do to make the quotas rather than lose their jobs. Given the very gray shades the movie operates in, it should not spoil the ending to note that nobody has a happy ending, and by that time you certainly hope they don't.

    David Mamet -award winning writer? Came to a point the overuse of non -stop cursing made it just annoying and laughable.
