"It is not a world of men, machine. It is a world of clockwatchers, bureaucrats, office-holders. It's a f**ked up world. No adventure to it " 

This may just be the most unlikely cult classic ever. A movie about two days in the lives of 5 men who work at a shady real estate office selling land hardly seems like anything exciting, but these aren't just any men, and this isn't just any movie. I'm going to get personal in this review, which is something I've been trying to stay away from, but this is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. I've worked on a sales floor before, illegally of course as I am a child, and things haven't changed much from how they were in the 90s, although sales leads aren't printed out on notecards anymore. I've listened to people try and sell products. They talk a big game and try to convince customers they're special, but no one improvs any scarily accurate fake client scenarios. That's purely a Glengarry thing. 

Rapid fire dialogue written by the great David Mamet, atmospheric production design, and some insane performances by 4 of my favorite actors make this movie such a wild ride. All the greats are involved; Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris. There's even a short cameo from Alec Baldwin where he performs the titular Always Be Closing monologue, and one of the most famous monologues in movie history. Everything about it oozes shady, but the film plays out in such a brilliant, darkly funny, and high tension sequence of events that you can't help but get hooked.
