DanTheMan 2 As fierce as it is funny, Glengarry Glen Ross sustains a fever pitch of dramatic intensity where words fly with the speed and impact of bullets. Despite its acidic worldview, it evokes a sense of the value of artistic achievement and personal struggle. The dark view of human nature and Mamet's brutal dialogue possess a kind of logic, a rhythm, that enables people to reach triumphant conclusions at the ends of sentences, and has a special gift for drawing portraits of lowlifers who are harsh but also funny. There is great energy in it, delivered with razor-sharp precision by an ensemble cast at the height of their powers, who match it perfectly, all of whom manage to individualise and humanise the compelling, witty and pugilistic wordplay so that its expressiveness never veers into offensiveness. Backed by Foley's minimalist approach to directing, the rain-soaked photography and James Newton Howard's upbeat, jazz-infused score, Glengarry Glen Ross is brought to life with utterly demonic skill, one that finally validates my own worldview: coffee is for closers only! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/25 Full Review Ed . Alec and Al give tour de force performances, but Jack Lemmon is pathos personified. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Noel L It was kind of like The Wolf of Wall Street before becoming an empire. Kind of confusing when they were talking business Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Mary A The actors are amazing but the dialogue they were given falls short. The idea of the story is interesting but the dialogue is over the top. I know it's probably meant to be that way but it's too much too fast. The characters could have been much more interesting if each of them had unique personalities instead of all of them yelling obscenities at each other. It seems like they were all playing the same character. The movie seemed unrealistic because if salesman talked that way to their boss and each other they would have been fired.
