The film then follows the desperate wheelings and dealings of each man as he tries to find a solution in his own way, from adopting the hard sell to robbery. While it's a gleaming study of some of the best actors of today and they're supported by a great script, the storyline of a bunch of desperate real estate salesmen is a bit weak.
Not as satisfying or enjoyable as the far superior Twelve Angry Men - which was a showcase of acting with a riveting and relevant story. Stand-outs in this case are Ed Harris and Alec Baldwin, the abusive parent company shark who only appears in only one scene.
