In Reply to: Some thoughts on Glengarry Glen Ross (Spoilers, but then we've all seen this, right?) posted by JoshT on April 19, 2015 at 20:43:54:
I like the film, part of it does irritate me but when a film and/or its characters can stir a strong emotion in me like this then I know it is well done. I don't like Pacino's character for some reason. I love the Simpsons creation of a character based on Lemmon's portrayal of Shelly Levene.
See "The Prime Gig" which is similar where we track a high end, high pressure phone sales crew. Not as good but quite worth watching as I see it.
