Stars: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon<\/strong>, Alan Arkin<\/strong>, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce, Bruce Altman, Jude Ciccolella<\/strong>\u00a0and Alec Baldwin<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tagline: Lie. Cheat. Steal. All in a day’s work.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Plot…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Richard “Ricky”<\/em> Roma, George Aaronow, Shelley “The Machine”<\/em> Levene, and Dave Moss are real estate salesmen in a small office for a company that makes big promises. Despite lies and questionable tactics by all the men, sales are down.\u00a0 \u00a0Of late only Ricky Roma has been able to close deals.<\/p>\n

With one week in the month left, the office manager John Williamson, says that the company is sending in Blake, their top salesman to inspire them.\u00a0 Blake arrives and immediately begins talking.\u00a0 Blake insults and attacks each worker’s salemenship and manhood.\u00a0 Blake says that in one week, the top saleman for the office will win a car.\u00a0 Second place gets a set of steak knives.\u00a0 Third and fourth place winners will be fired.<\/p>\n

And he’s serious.<\/p>\n

Blake then leaves.\u00a0 Ricky, George, Shelley, and Dave Moss are shocked.\u00a0 Then angry.\u00a0 Each man complains that the leads Williamson gives them are crap.\u00a0 The leads have been repeatedly used.\u00a0 The people on the leads have no money or no interest and have been called on several times.\u00a0 Williamson doesn’t disagree.\u00a0 You get what you get.\u00a0 BUT, the two men show survive the month will next month get new leads.\u00a0 These leads will be for the new\u00a0 Glengarry development.<\/p>\n

The Glengarry development is sweet.\u00a0 It almost sells itself.\u00a0 Those leads are worth their weight in gold.<\/p>\n

Ricky is in a great position to win the car.\u00a0 George, Shelley and Dave are all in danger of losing their jobs.\u00a0 Each man has reason to do whatever it takes to survive.<\/p>\n

And one will.<\/p>\n

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Al Pacino was nominated for a 1993 Best Supporting Actor Oscar<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Jack Lemmon gives the performance of a lifetime.\u00a0 Same could be said for Alec Baldwin.\u00a0 Kudos also to Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey and Jonathan Pryce who more than hold their own.<\/p>\n

Glengarry Glen Ross<\/em> is a showcase for great acting.\u00a0 Jack Lemmon said Glengarry Glen Ross<\/em> featured the greatest acting ensemble he had ever been part of.\u00a0 High praise indeed.<\/p>\n

Glengarry Glen Ross<\/em> gets my highest recommendation.<\/p>\n

Glengarry Glen Ross <\/strong><\/em>(1992) rates 5 of 5 stars.<\/p>\n
