This week, I will be reviewing Glengarry Glen Ross. My first impression after watching this movie is "this was great writing and dialogue." But the plot is the weakness of the movie. Here is the trailer.
Glengarry Glen Ross is about realty salesmen and leads. That's pretty much it. There are great actors in the cast who do an excellent job. I really enjoyed their performances as they delivered their dialogue with convincing ease though vulgarity was quite prominent throughout the film.
Alec Baldwin's speech at the beginning was my favorite scene in the movie as he delivered it in such a cocky manner that it was very comical. My favorite character in the movie though was Al Pacino as he knew how to control himself and when and who needed to talk to vulgar and when to be patient with a client. The scene I speak of is when a client of his comes in with buyer's remorse and then he chews out Kevin Spacey.
Now to the plot. It was hard to follow. The performances outweighed the plot. It was just basically leads and yelling profanities. So I didn't like that aspect of the film.
Would I recommend this film? Sure, if you don't mind the swearing and lack of plot.
