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.

Masterpiece
You wouldn't think a film about a group of middle aged men trying to sell people dodgy real estate in Florida and complaining to each other about their bosses holding back 'the good leads' would be particularly exciting. But Glengarry Glen Ross is one of the finest movies of the early 90s.
Adapted from the play of the same name, it's a gripping character-driven story of America's seedy corporate underbelly, a kind of Death Of A Salesman for the Reagan era following the fortunes (or lack thereof) of a group of salesmen in a real estate office in Chicago. Threatened with the prospect of losing their jobs if they can't earn the company more money than their co-workers by the end of the month, how far will the salesmen go?
Throw in snappy, endlessly quotable dialogue and a cast made in heaven (Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris and Alec Baldwin are all on top form here) and you've got a great little film. -
