Four salesmen in a real-estate office are told that for the next two weeks they'll be competing to make the most sales. First prize is a car, runner-up gets a set of steak knives, third and fourth prize is... you're fired.
A screenplay written by David Mamet and basically an-all-Oscar cast: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin. There is no forest among the trees - the movie yields no definable emotion (other than a general sense of dread and desperation) and no likable characters (per se). It is simply an assembled collection of amazing scenes and the enjoyment that comes from watching lowlifes in suits yell at each other.
The reason to watch this movie - the reason to re-watch this movie - is to see an all-star ensemble with a meaty script where every single actor knocks it out of the park. Watch a cast of legends and watch Jack Lemmon be even better.
7/10.
