It's almost uncomfortable to watch this movie that features a bunch of poor real estate salesmen so desperate to make sales and keep their jobs that they back-stab, lie, grovel and otherwise dehumanize themselves. Sounds like great fun, doesn't it?
Well, it is! David Mamet adapted his play for the screen and got a stellar cast to work with. Among the most memorable lines are those that are spit out by Alec Baldwin, playing a character who wasn't even in the play.
