Dark, bleak, and deeply sarcastic take on the life of a real estate representative in "Glengarry Glen Ross", based on a play by the always reliable David Mamet ("The Untouchables") and wonderfully directed by James Foley ("At Close Range").
The story takes place in a real estate firm, where three out of the four salesmen are forced by a big-mouth hot-shot into taking part in a sales contest to sell a worthless plot of land to the highest bidder in two weeks just to save their jobs.
As for the cast here, which consists of Al Pacino, the late Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Alan Arkin, Jonathan Pryce, and Alec Baldwin. You couldn't have asked for a better performance from each one - especially Lemmon and Pacino.
Until I saw this movie, I thought working in a cheese factory was crazy enough, but now I might reconsider that opinion.
