You've got a big mouth... now I'm gonna show you an even bigger one!

Nice movie, thanks to the great cast and the beautiful dialogues. I can only agree with anyone who says that the story isn't worth much. I didn't like it very much and the ending was a bit disappointing in that respect. Fortunately, there are the actors, who make up for a lot and make for a nice film.

Al Pacino along with Jack Lemmon really steal the show here. Amazing how they go about it. They both rant and curse and especially Pacino is always very passionate about this. The rest of the cast also does well, but is slightly less than these two, although that also depends on the role. I also thought Spacey was very good at times and also very funny, because at some point he really gets a swear cannonade from almost everyone, although he defends himself with verve. The contribution of Alec Baldwin, in which he delivers a powerful speech, is also worth mentioning.

Yes, a fine film, without a noteworthy story, which is really propelled up by the impressive cast and the excellent acting.

3.5*

“Put that coffee down! Coffee is for closers only.”

Glengarry Glen Ross is a real actor movie. You can see that the story was originally intended as a play with a story that only visits two locations, the camera that is close to the actors' skin, and long dialogues and monologues. The story is simple, a real estate agency wants to push its employees to better results and comes up with a competition. Whoever finishes first in terms of sales results gets a car, and whoever finishes last gets fired.

This is the start of a lot of verbal abuse and with actors like Pacino, Lemmon, Baldwin, Spacey, Harris and Arkin you can't go wrong. Pacino in particular is fantastic, and his final scenes with Lemmon and Pryce are brilliant. The incomparable and unforgettable 'Brass Balls' speech by Alec Baldwin also stands out. How the employees are belittled is intriguing and shocking at the same time. In the middle part the film drops a bit and the heist subplot was not necessary for me, but it does produce beautiful scenes between Spacey and Lemmon. Glengarry Glen Ross shows what happens when you put a handful of top actors in a small space and let them spar verbally.
