It's a man's world out there and the right path may always not be the path to success when it comes to buying and selling real estate and this phenomena is best depicted in this realistic drama about four real estate salesmen - Played by Pacino, Lemmon, Harris and Arkin. All of them are a part of an average real estate organization which in order to maximize sales give their salesmen a week to increase their closes. The leads they get for this task are very mediocre and thus will test their salesmen capabilities. But frustration and failures make them take some drastic steps whose consequences they have to face for good.

About the actors, Pacino plays an intelligent and opportunistic guy who is the salesman with the best record currently. Lemmon is the old and experienced guy whose sales record is not that good at the moment but is a big mouth. Harris plays the rebellious and short-tempered guy who has many ideas jumping inside him to make it big. Arkin is the soft-spoken, least confident guy who could not even talk properly to the customers on the phone. Baldwin has a very short scene in the movie but according to me that is the highlight. Spacey is the head of the branch and is the person who receives the most abuses in the movie. Another feature of this movie is the free usage of the 'F' word throughout (Especially directed towards Spacey). In short, this movie gets the thrills even without hardcore action scenes, car crashes etc. Highly Recommended.
