Audience Member this movie appeals to young and old. and each will see it differently through the eyes of the two main characters. amazingly performed and brilliantly directed, this film heralds in the new age of computer sales and discards the ancient door to door slimy yet necessary salesman tactics. the salesman in scripted form. fear and loathing in a salesman's route. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the first of many Danny Boyle films I watched that was on a list of one I haven't seen from the director. It is amusing at times and really the acting trumps everything here. The Story is lacking some, but it does work, although, I could have liked it a lot more if half the F-bombs in this we're replaced with some meaty dialoge instead. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Sell sell FUCKING SELL! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie rocked. Combines door-to-door vacuum sales with techno music. That's pretty original. It's fitting that I'm working on Glen Gary, Glen Ross is my scene study class. Salesmen are crazy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A bit too weird for my taste. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Danny Boyle has one of the coolest careers in film ever. In his films he has tackled zombies, space, heroin addicts, India, and that's not even looking at his whole filmography. So with this one, his topic of choice was unbalanced vacuum salesmen. Visually you can see this as a definite precursor to "28 Days Later"- the digital, grainy look and wild experimental hand held cinematography are very similar. But story wise, this is the hardest to peg of all of Boyle's films. It's mood veers from humor to drama very quickly leaving it with a rather uneven feeling. It feels like an absurdist rendition of "Death of a Salesman," honestly. The performances are good, Timothy Spall especially stealing the show as a rather loathesome but captivating individual. It is not a perfect film, but it's worth seeing for Danny Boyle's involvement and some rather unexpected laughs. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
