As fierce as it is funny. Rarely does does a film sustain such a fever pitch of dramatic intensity. One of the very best of 1992.

Pacino, Lemmon, Harris, and Baldwin are masters of their craft, and Mamet's dynamite play rewards them accordingly.

a film more concerned with the performances and how well lines are delivered than the abovementioned plot - And justifiably so with each of the gifted performers giving nothing but their best here. In addition, it’s probably David Mamet’s best screen effo

Mamet has a special gift for drawing realistic portriats of lowlifers who are harsh but also funny, not to speak of his unique skill at contsructing tension-ridden situations; his salesmen are a far cry from Arthur Miller's Loman in Death of a Salesman.

David Mamet's prophetic and soulful drama about how the human spirit is violated in the work arena.

The overall film, writing and acting are so darn good that I watched it and then immediately started it over again.

Despite an acidic world-view, it generates a real feeling of the worth of artistic achievement and personal struggle.

The directing's a bit obtrusive, but the script and the acting gets to the heart of Mamet's glorious obsession with macho B.S.
