    Excellent

    Very good production of the classic arthur miller play. How anyone cannot like it is beyond me. But hey, that's just my opinion.

    Don't watch it if you have no attention span. It does require some concentration, and it's not exactly a bundle of laughs.

    If you've ever studied the play, I think you'll like this production.

    You're Fired!

    I could not wait to see this movie. Last year i had read the play for an english A-level and really enjoyed it.

    It was exactly as i expected it to be. Cheap and stagey. However, i thought the movie was a great success, largely down to Dustin Hoffman. He played Willy Loman just like i had imagine him to be, even down to his failing voice.

    If you study the American dream or like Arthur Miller i suggest you watch this.
