Glengarry Glen Ross

Glengarry Glen Ross
directed by James Foley

Al Pacino. Jack Lemmon. Ed Harris. Alec Baldwin. Alan Arkin. And the unknown-at-the-time Kevin Spacey. Has there been a better cast anywhere in motion picture history? Add to the mix the play that made David Mamet into David Mamet and you're talking about a ride on the testosterone express. Hard dialog delivered even harder and withering assaults performed verbally, Glengarry Glen Ross is less the story of realtors/con men as it is a metaphor of the warrior as businessman. When Pacino calls Spacey "you child!" ... awesome. Awesome.

Discussion question: No, really, can you beat this cast?
