Director James Foley, working with a highly resonant screenplay by David Mamet, here brings a palpable cinematic tension to what could have become a dry, theatrical piece. Rarely moving outside the real-estate office where four salesmen are under pressure to sell more or lose their jobs, the film speaks forcefully about decency being snuffed out by desire, good men taking wrong turnings despite their best efforts and the stench of the American Dream gone mad. Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin and Ed Harris give note-perfect ensemble performances, Alec Baldwin appears in a telling cameo and there's a major early role for Kevin Spacey. You can only gawp at such ability.

A brilliant stage play seems a little claustrophobic on its transfer to the screen, but provides opportunities for some excellent acting.

[Highly rated reviewer]
One again Pacino proves his pedigree.
Probably the best cast ever assembled on the big screen. And it most certainly delivers. Al Pacino should have won the best actor Oscar for which he was nominated and was outshone only by an incredible performance from the great Jack Lemmon.

One of the best casts ever!
A group of real-estate salesmen live on the edge..Life is good for the one on a roll, for the rest life hangs in the balance. There is no room for losers A-B-C Always Be Closing. Sell or go under is the salesman mantra. So begins a rainy night of cut-throat business and shattered lives.
Jack Lemmon gives a phenomenal performance as a veteran whose good days are long gone with an ensemble cast featuring some of the finest actors in the world including Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin and the Oscar nominated Al Pacino as the fast talking charismatic salesman on a roll. -
