Rent Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
A group of real-estate salesmen-cum-con artists live on the edge. All the time. Life is good for only one. For the rest, life hangs in the balance. There is no room for losers. The name of the game is simple: A-B-C. A-Always. B-Be. C-Closing. Always be closing. Sell or go under. Right under. Deep rock bottom under. That's the name of the game. It's simple.
Glengarry Glen Ross shows Mamet, who adapted his Pulitzer Prize winning play, at his searing, profane best. Pacino is on stunning Oscar-nominated form as the fast-talking charismatic salesman on a roll. Jack Lemmon gives a vintage performance as the veteran whose good days are long gone and Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris and Alan Arkin form a master class in ensemble acting: you can see the life being sucked out of these characters as the modern world pushes them further and further down.
