Video Review

Glengarry Glen Ross

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Rated: R; Genre: Drama; With: Jack Lemmon and Al Pacino

Alec Baldwin is on camera for barely eight minutes in Glengarry Glen Ross, the tightly wound — and actually very fine — film adaptation of David Mamet's play. But his big speech, whipping up the assembled real estate salesmen with reptilian gung ho, could stand as a compressed version of what makes Baldwin, when bad, so good. B+
