The film version of David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize–winning play is a scorching, profane investigation of the wheelings and dealings among a group of Chicago real-estate salesmen and a stunning showcase for a remarkable ensemble cast. Al Pacino gives a tour-de-force performance as Ricky Roma, the cocky, silver-tongued office hotshot. Of equal note are performances by Jack Lemmon as the one-time kingpin who has fallen on hard times, Alec Baldwin as the terrifying “motivator,” and Alan Arkin, Ed Harris and Kevin Spacey as fellow salesmen-cum-con-artists.
