Pretty Good

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Although this film is primarily set in just 2 locations, its an absolute belter. Superb performances from the best line-up of actors I've ever seen in one movie along with a compelling script. Alec Baldwin's speech is arguably the best thing I have ever witnessed on screen. If you like dialogue filled Tarantino scenes, check this film out asap!

Al Pacino,Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Jonathan Pryce, this is a doctorate in acting, both, movie and theater. Perfect characters because there was an outstanding acting. Pacino (my favorite actor) is the best, he really sinks into his character. If you can appreciate powerful acting, then this movie will blow your mind. 9/10

This film has some of the most original dialogue I have ever heard in the pre-Pulp Fiction era, and David Mamet who wrote the screenplay has ensured each actor has plenty to work with, and they do and deliver brilliant performances. Among the cast is the great Al Pacino, the very good Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin and Alec Baldwin. The story is extremely well structured, it's rather funny at times, the pace is excellent, the characters are all different to one another, they have personality, strengths and best of all, intrigue, you have no idea what they're going to say or what they're going to do, and that is one of the greatest things your film can have, and this particular picture is one of originality, depth and excellence.Mamet's dialogue has energy as well as surprise and his screenplay is rather close to perfect. Al Pacino gives another brilliant performance, Spacey is very good, Lemmon is most impressive, Ed Harris is also really good, as well as everyone else. However Baldwin was most surprising, I have never seen him this good, usually he's just okay, but here he makes the most of his scene with a memorable passage, delivered extremely well, his mannerisms were very good, including one line where he is asked by Harris "Who are you, what's your name", his response "F**k you, that's my name, which was rather funny. The picture also has one or two rather sad moments, where you see the character's thinking about what has just happened, and you care for their character's because there intriguing, complex and most of them; very likable, also exceptional is the direction from James Foley and the look of the picture. Overall Glengarry Glen Ross has plenty of great original dialogue, superb writing, a brilliant story and absolutely outstanding performances from its talented cast.

This film is undoubtedly one of my favourites of all time and that's because of it's brilliant portrayal of salesmen, it's stellar, sorry interstellar cast and its driving plot.One thing I really liked about this film (and it's Pulitzer prize winning source) is its 100 minute run-time. In that short 100 minutes, the film expressed to me more about the sales business did than Wall Street did in 126 minutes.Unfamiliarity - In this film, we're given an unfamiliar situation. There's no other film like this, so this is the first time we're actually being placed in this sort of situation. That's what gets us intrigued.Familiarity - Majority of the film takes place in one room. That gives us familiarity in terms of setting. We feel like home in that room, in a sense that we know how the characters move inside. The same is with 12 Angry Men and Reservoir Dogs. If unfamiliarity got us started, familiarity keeps us going.Next, the performances. Can we change that Best Actor to Denzel Washington for Malcolm X and that Best Supporting Actor to Al Pacino for Glengarry Glen Ross? Al Pacino is fantastic in this film. Kevin Spacey's performance makes you sympathise with him and hate him at the same time. Jack Lemmon makes you love him. Alan Arkin and Ed Harris are equally great. Alec Baldwin really has "brass balls".On a last note, I cannot talk about this film without commenting on it's fantastic editing. The editing is just marvellous. We cut back and forth and back and forth really fast when the conversation keeps rambling. We feel the conversation's tension and its rhythm when the actors and editors do what they do best.
