Adapted from his Pulitzer Prize winning play, Glengarry Glen Ross shows David Mamet, at his searing, profane best. A group of Chicago real-estate salesmen-cum-con artists live on the edge... life is good for the one on a roll, for the rest, life hangs in the balance. There is no room for losers. A-B–C Always Be Closing, sell or go under, is the salesman's mantra. With the pressure on, so begins a rainy night of cut-throat business and shattered lives. Oscar nominated Al Pacino plays the fast talking Ricky Roma, alongside a phenomenal performance by Jack Lemmon as the... veteran Shelly The Machine Levene, struggling to keep his neck above water. With a star studded ensemble cast featuring Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris and Alan Arkin. Special Features: Commentary by Director James Foley A.B.C.

Please note this is a Region B Blu-Ray Like moths to a flame great actors gravitate to the singular genius of playwright-screenwriter David Mamet who updated his Pulitzer Prize-winning play for this all-star screen adaptation The material is not inherently cinematic so the Glengarry Glen Ross&39;s greatest asset is Mamet&39;s peerless dialogue and the assembly of the once-in-a-lifetime cast led by Al Pacino Jack Lemmon and Alec Baldwin (the last in a role Mamet created especially for the film) Often regarded as a critique of the Reagan administration&39;s impact on the American economy the play and film focus on a competitive group of real estate salesmen who&39;ve gone from feast to famine in a market gone cold When an executive "motivator" (Alec Baldwin) demands a sales contest among the agents in the cramped office the stakes are critically high any agent who fails to meet his quota of sales "leads" (ie potential buyers) will lose their job This intense ultimatum is a boon for the office superstar (Pacino) but a once-successful salesman (Lemmon) now finds himself clinging nervously to faded glory Political and personal rivalries erupt under pressure when the other agents (Alan Arkin Ed Harris) suspect the office manager (Kevin Spacey) of foul play This cauldron of anxiety tension and sheer desperation provides fertile soil for Mamet&39;s scathingly rich dialogue which is like rocket fuel for some of the greatest actors of our time Pacino won an Oscar nomination for his volatile performance but it&39;s Lemmon who&39;s the standout doing some of the best work of his distinguished career Director James Foley shapes Mamet&39;s play into a stylish intensely focused film that will stand for decades as a testament to its brilliant writer and cast --Jeff Shannon Amazon --This text refers to the DVD edition
