Glengarry Glen Ross

US (1992): Drama

Times are tough in a Chicago real estate office; the salesmen [Shelley Levene (Jack Lemmon), Ricky Roma (Al Pacino), Dave Moss (Ed Harris), and George Aaronow (Alan Arkin)] are given a strong incentive by Blake (Alec Baldwin) to succeed in a sales contest. The prizes? First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado, second prize is a set of steak knives, third prize is the sack! There is no room for losers in this dramatically masculine world; only "closers" will get the good sales leads, which are controlled by the "man from downtown," John Williamson (Kevin Spacey). There is a lot of pressure to succeed, so a robbery is committed which has unforseen consequences for all the characters. James Foley directs David Mamet's screen adaptation of his award-winning stage play. (Amazon.com)
