Victor, I think this is a good example of how personal experiences can affect how one sees a movie (or any art). To me, this movie captured so well what shit salesmen go through, it really touched a nerve. So the story being "banal artificial and tired" really didn't matter to me. I would rate it as good to very good, just because it captured this so well.And as far as Pacino's acting, I think I tend to cut him some (probably too much) slack, because I've seen him turn in some good performances. I have stated more than once that he usually overacts terribly, so in a movie like this my thoughts are "that wasn't too bad for Pacino". Did you ever see his movie about a movie about Richard III? Spacey acted circles around him in that one, IMO.
I gave at the office!
