This movie was filled with great dialog, even though, according to IMDb, the “f”-word “and its derivatives are uttered 138 times.” The cast is made up of great actors: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin, and Kevin Spacey. Actually, now that I’m listing their names, it occurred to me that there were very few, if any female actors in the movie. This film takes place mainly in a Chicago real estate firm, where the salesmen are struggling to close the deals on their sales. They are presented with a contest to increase their sales, which puts an even higher amount of pressure on them.
Rating: ***+
