Omschrijving
geregisseerd door James Foley
met Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon en Kevin Spacey

Vier medewerkers van een makelaarskantoor krijgen een extra motivatie doordat er een wedstrijd wordt uitgeschreven. De eerste prijs is een Cadillac, de tweede een messenset, en de derde prijs ontslag. Er is geen ruimte voor losers in deze wereld, alleen echte "closers" zullen de goede deals binnen slepen. De druk om te presteren is erg hoog, helemaal wanneer er een overval wordt gepleegd die gevolgen heeft voor alle deelnemers.



Description:
The play and film focus on a competitive group of real estate salesmen who've gone from feast to famine in a market gone cold. When an executive "motivator" (Alec Baldwin) demands a sales contest among the agents in the cramped office, the stakes are critically high: any agent who fails to meet his quota of sales "leads" (i.e., potential buyers) will lose his job.

This intense ultimatum is a boon for the office superstar (Pacino), but a once-successful salesman (Lemmon) now finds himself clinging nervously to faded glory. Political and personal rivalries erupt under pressure when the other agents (Alan Arkin, Ed Harris) suspect the office manager (Kevin Spacey) of foul play. This cauldron of anxiety, tension, and sheer desperation provides fertile soil for Mamet's scathingly rich dialogue, which is like rocket fuel for some of the greatest actors of our time. Director James Foley shapes Mamet's play into a stylish, intensely focused film that will stand for decades as a testament to its brilliant writer and cast.
