Summary: 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

Michael Betzold

Talk is the coin of the realm for salespeople, and this adaptation of David Mamet's play about real estate agents is one of the most densely scripted and verbally rich films ever made. The talk is frank, brutal and often scatalogical; the plot is about surviving in business; the atmosphere is that of a tense locker room. Director James Foley handles all the nuances well, and lets his restless camera create the sensation of movement around a stolid, stagey set. Almost the entire film takes place in one large office. The excellent cast features Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey and Alan Arkin, and they all do yeoman work in this ambitious and unsettling character study about morality, aging, and corruption in a group of mostly over-the-hill white men. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi
