What to Know

Critics Consensus

This adaptation of David Mamet's play is every bit as compelling and witty as its source material, thanks in large part to a clever script and a bevy of powerhouse actors.

Henry Sheehan The Hollywood Reporter Oct 3, 2018
While the dark view of human nature and brutal dialogue might keep faint hearts from the film, the cast manages to individualize and humanize the pugilistic wordplay so that its expressiveness never veers into offensiveness. Go to Full Review Todd McCarthy Variety Jun 9, 2008
Mamet reveals his exceptional talent for writing almost poetic working-class vernacular, scores his major implicit thematic thrusts against the nature of the way business-at-large is conducted. Go to Full Review Time Out Jun 24, 2006
David Mamet's play about the wheelings and dealings of real-estate salesmen gets dedicated playing from a splendid cast, but gains nothing by the transfer from stage to screen. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Aug 2, 2024
5/5
…while Glengarry Glen Ross doesn’t moralise, it smacks of Mamet’s voice of experience, and anyone whose worked at the sharp end of sales will recognise the dehumanising tone of the events that play out here… Go to Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress Podcast Apr 9, 2024

Robert P @Superbad Sep 21, 2026 Glengarry Glen Ross = a *4,5* star Movie! See more Michael W @mawilps Aug 30, 2026 This business movie was great. Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The plot of the movie was dramatic and thrilling. It's about fighting to keep your job by any means necessary. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. See more Jovana M @J_loves_movies Aug 29, 2026 Brilliant script! And excellent acting from all of the guys, Pacino is so good! See more J H @UpstateNYThriller Aug 24, 2026 8.3/10 Drama, mid 90s Movie about cold call real estate salesman chasing down good leads. Al Pacino Kevin Spacey Alec Baldwin. Great movie, intense. Great Al Pacino movie See more Stefan E @StefanE Jul 22, 2026 Possibly the best movie I've ever seen, actually. Loads of fantastic dialogue with some of the best actors (Al Pacino acting as himself, yet again). It's a very heavy movie, that's for sure, but don't let that keep you from enjoying this masterpiece. See more Peter C. @peterc22 May 4, 2026 Slow starting but delightfully ramps up in the second half. Very strong acting as expected. Fun and entertaining. See more Read all reviews
