Review of Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) by Familiar S — 14 Jul 2010

Be forewarned: There's not much of a plot here, so to speak. The movie comprises of conversations for most of the part. While some viewers may be bored with the blah, blah, blah going on, some would enjoy it. I belong to the latter category of the viewers. The movie was one hell of a funny conversational joy ride, & boy did I enjoy it!!! Of course, I didn't get some of the sales related talkings, but fortunately, there wasn't too much of it.

While it's not a thriller per se, the predictable who-dun-it part at the end is revealed quite aptly. Regarding the performances, each & every actor gives his (there's no her, if memory serves me right) best. This perfect casting that delivers incredible performances only serves as an icing on the cake.

The screenplay writer & the director deserve full marks for the great execution of what could otherwise have been a lousy adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize winning play. Two thumbs up to this gem that somehow managed to remain hidden from me for this long.
