DVD Reviews of Glengarry Glen Ross
DVD Review: GREAT WRITING
Summary: 5 Stars
this is one of my favorite movies. the all star cast is fantastic, plus pacino and harris are great looking in this film,a movie i like to watch over and over.DVD Review: ABD: Always Be a D**k
Summary: 2 Stars
A powerhouse cast and a tight script from David Mamet can't make this salesmen drama watchable. There's a plot involving a theft of some sales leads, but the characters are utterly repulsive and without any redeeming qualities. They may be true to the world of sales, but it's not a world that I have any interest in watching again.DVD Review: Watch for Pacino Enjoying Jack Lemmon
Summary: 5 Stars
Near the end, Jack Lemmon is recanting his sales success story with Al Pacino. Pacino has a look on his face that seems to show his joy of watching Jack Lemmon at the top of his game...as well as his character's appreciation of Shelly closing a sale. Priceless... What's chilling is realizing that Williamson (Spacey) gave Shelly (Lemmon) a bad lead...people who were "insane," and simply "liked talking to salesmen." Ed Harris is wonderful as the office complainer, the hothead who bitches about all aspects of the company he works for. Alan Arkin delivers a huge performance from such a small role. Pacino is a bit over the top with his mannerisms and rantings, but as usual, it's hard to imagine anyone else playing the role. Priceless dialogue, right up there with the "Pulp Fiction" sequences. DVD Review: Dark and Powerful Glimpse of Direct Selling Desperados
Summary: 5 Stars
Having spent years in direct sales including selling door-to-door, this film really had a hold on me. It's a window into a world of fear and desperation caused by stale leads, shattered self-esteem and lurid opportunity.
Classic David Mamet dialogue may as well be machine-gun fire with this brutal group.
Jack Lemmon is heartbreaking as the sad sack. Pacino turns in his always-solid work. And Alec Baldwin steals the show with his cameo performance as the ball-buster sent in from "downtown" to slap these guys around.
Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey... what a cast. And no one hits a false note.
If you haven't seen this film, do yourself a favor. Check it out.
This is powerful stuff.
DVD Review: 3.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bottom Line:
An incisive look into the desperate lives of salesmen, Glengarry Glen Ross features standout performances from almost every member of the cast and is a sharp as a scalpel; marred only by the fact that the dialogue occasionally veers from colorful Mamet-speak into endless strings of profanities, Glengarry Glen Ross is a standout film.
Description of Glengarry Glen Ross
A group of sleazy real estate men face a high-pressure stress as they are put in danger of getting the ax by their hard-driving bosses.System Requirements:Starring: Al Pacino Alan Arkin Alec Baldwin Ed Harris Jack Lemmon and Kevin Spacey. Directed By: James Foley. Running Time: 100 Min. Color. This film is presented in both "Widescreen" and "Standard" formats. Copyright 2002 Artisan Entertainment.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?012236114505 Manufacturer No:?13286Like moths to a flame, great actors gravitate to the singular genius of playwright-screenwriter David Mamet, who updated his Pulitzer Prize-winning play for this all-star screen adaptation. The material is not inherently cinematic, so the movie's greatest asset is Mamet's peerless dialogue and the assembly of a once-in-a-lifetime cast led by Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Alec Baldwin (the last in a role Mamet created especially for the film). Often regarded as a critique of the Reagan administration's impact on the American economy, the play and film focus on a competitive group of real estate salesmen who've gone from feast to famine in a market gone cold. When an executive "motivator" (Alec Baldwin) demands a sales contest among the agents in the cramped office, the stakes are critically high: any agent who fails to meet his quota of sales "leads" (i.e., potential buyers) will lose his job. This intense ultimatum is a boon for the office superstar (Pacino), but a once-successful salesman (Lemmon) now finds himself clinging nervously to faded glory. Political and personal rivalries erupt under pressure when the other agents (Alan Arkin, Ed Harris) suspect the office manager (Kevin Spacey) of foul play. This cauldron of anxiety, tension, and sheer desperation provides fertile soil for Mamet's scathingly rich dialogue, which is like rocket fuel for some of the greatest actors of our time. Pacino won an Oscar nomination for his volatile performance, but it's Lemmon who's the standout, doing some of the best work of his distinguished career. Director James Foley shapes Mamet's play into a stylish, intensely focused film that will stand for decades as a testament to its brilliant writer and cast. --Jeff Shannon
