Kyle M The conclusive payoff may not sit well, not because of the built subjective impulse on judgmental grounds, but impressively based on how much of impeccable emittance there is to intimidate and conversationally engage under positional immersion, all thanks to the cast brilliance having sharp dynamics that tightens its objective grip. (A-) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Friendly D Unique film noir with a stellar cast about a bunch of crooked real estate agents and their loathsome superiors. The conflicting egos and their tawdry sales tactics are hilarious, awkward and somewhat pitiful, but the acting is absolutely peerless. Look away if you're an intellectual dimwit with the attention span of a gnat - for those that appreciate acting artistry and engrossing dialogue, unmissable. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Isa B What a terrific performance by Jack Lemmon. He stole the show in a film which had numerous excellent performances. Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Price and Alec Baldwin were all exceptional. Jack Lemmon is great at portraying that unlucky, yet optimistic guy who tries to go up only to inevitably go down. I enjoyed this film quite a bit and I definitely recommend it. Glengarry Glen Ross is a very good motion picture. 90/100 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review David H I saw this movie a long time ago, and I didn't remember being very impressed. But something somebody said about the film recently made me think I would like to revisit it, and I'm glad I did. *** I believe the film started out as a play, and the film unfolds just like a play, carrying you from one scene to the next. *** Its dramatic arc is effective. I never lost interest in what was happening, but I did find the wrap-up a little confusing when the Jack Lemmon character ended up being the one who had done the robbery even though we had been led to believe it was Alan Arkin. That left me scratching my head at the end, but it’s still a powerhouse film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Audience Member I generally like these style of movies, but this one is way overrated in my opinion. The cast and acting is great but the story is missing nerve. The threat of being fired never feels threatening after Baldwin leaves the room. The hospitalized daughter is just a side comment. The police investigation is not a drama but a nuisance for the salesmen. It's just an endless lamentation about leads, that's it. The premise is great, but the story needs some absurd elements, surprising twists or dramatic shifts to really bring it to life. The cameo by Baldwin is the best part of the film - the superficiality, machismo, and coldness is depressing and ridiculous at the same time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Audience Member Jack Lemmon ruins nearly everything he touches, and the role written for Al Pacino is more Over the Top than Dog Day Afternoon. The Golden Leads as a McGuffin [plot device] is positively laughable. Lemmon's line "You don't know the shot!" could be the single worst piece of dialog in movie history.
