absolute masterpiece!!!

This is one of those movies that separates the men from the boys. If someone tells you that it sucked...most likely, they know s*^t about film.
The composition and structure is entirely sound, the acting is beyond mere traditional concepts of performance, the direction is so focused and unrelenting that you almost feel like you took the real estate exam. A beautiful cameo from Alec Baldwin, depicting the iciness of the industry, shows us why these people are the way they are. There is nothing here that can even be remotely attached to anything before it. It is singularly unique in that respect. We are thrown into these people's lives and are given the dubious honor of watching them fail...miserably! We see pathetic behaviour in movies all the time, but never before have I felt so lonely and isolated (watch Jack Lemmon doing a cold call to a young couple, desperately clinging on to even the most remote sale).
This brings us to the film's most mind blowing truth, most of us in life have to settle for something a little less than what we had imagined as children, but these guys are so lost, that they've lost touch with their own humanity. It is compelling, sad, depressing and ultimatley real. We need more film that represents the human condition and how far we stray from that zone in order to maintain some semblance of sanity. In my opinion, one of the greatest films of all time.

If you're A CONSULTANT, buy a copy.

I am, and I play a scene from this in meetings, on my first visit to a new client. I cue it up to Alec Baldwin's amazing consultant-from-hell scene, a classic...and a cute ice-breaker. After all, NOBODY LOVES THE CONSULTANT, right?

Jack Lemmon called this "the best movie I've ever done." And, although Al Pacino won the Oscar, almost every major character contended.

Holland Cooke

WITH JUST A SMALL CAMEO ROLE, ALEC BALDWIN MANAGES TO STEAL THE SHOW...

... in what has to be one of the most intensely dramatic performances ever by any actor, right up there with Tom Cruise's cameo in "Magnolia"... an absolute must-see, especially if you're in the sales profession.

Alec Baldwin speech a classic.

I don't generally like the guy, but his speech to the salesmen at the beginning is outstanding. A great film for anyone in the mortgage, real estate, timeshare, traveling brush, etc. business. They will truly relate to the characters in this movie.
