It was originally a theater play. While watching, I kept thinking: why are they not making any use of film? It's all standing and talking. Where's making it a *film*. And then I read that it used to be theater. And then it occurred to me: this is preserving a great theater play for generations after. Played by some great actors in their prime.

Fantastic piece.

The actors called this "Death of a Fucking Salesman". That's pretty accurate.

I love it. Acting and dialogues like these happen once a decade.

Great dialogue. I especially liked the dialogue between Jonathan Pryce and Al Pacino. The ending was quite abrupt, but overall I think the film was very fast paced and interesting. Great use of color in the Chinese restaurant; loved the effect of the periodically screeching train and the heavy droplets of rain.

It's a play. A filmed play. With Al Pacino. I loved it.

It preserves a great play, but not much of a movie, but very good dialogue and acting

The film of the Pulitzer-winning play by David Mamet. I had no real idea what to expect, though it starred quite a cast: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin and Jonathan Pryce. There are a couple of really great speeches in there about the amorality (no immorality, you understand) of salesmanship and both the play and the film stand as a sort of indictment of that particular ethos. Mamet always was interested in the con game...
