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.

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.

Not only does this film boast an excellent cast, but it also manages to put a light on the unscrupulous dealings of salespeople, in this case real-estate agents. The movie inspired the character played by Ben Affleck in Boiler Room, which here is played by Alec Baldwin in a noteworthy and memorable cameo appearance.
This movie is a treat for those who like good scripts, good acting and stories which revolve around real-world people. It touches on wage class moralities, the enslavement we feel towards our capitalists, the power of wealth in this day and age and of course, most importantly, what to look out for when dealing with salespeople.
Al Pacino is in terrific form, playing the star salesman 'Richard Roma'. Jack Lemmon is equally good in his role as the fallen veteran 'Shelly Levene' who has to suck up to the immature and inexperienced boss, played by Kevin Spacey, after having lost his touch in salesmanship. -
