DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

jonpaul-stone-895-772059 Danny DiVito, Peter Facinelli and Kevin Spacey really work well together. The serious and soft tone of DiVito, Facinelli's kind and naive portrayal of "Bob" and Spacey's dead pan delivery's throughout make the dialog powerful and riveting. The conversations and the monologues are well written and complement the personality and style of the players they are written for. It is an intriguing look into the lives of cooperate pitchmen with interesting discussions about religion, God and what friendship truly is. I just happened on this movie one day on cable and couldn't stop watching. For a movie that takes place, for the most part, in one room with three men in the style of a stage play it is awesome. Any lover of the cinema or theater this is a must see!!

SnoopyStyle Two experienced salesman are taking a young guy from the research department under their wing in their hospitality suite. Larry Mann (Kevin Spacey) is a bombastic guy obsessed with landing the big kahuna, a particularly big customer. Phil Cooper (Danny DeVito) is a world wearied veteran. Bob Walker (Peter Facinelli) is a religious kid who is relegated to be the bartender. Unbeknownst to Bob or the other two, Bob strikes up a conversation with the big kahuna but lets him go without giving him a pitch on their industrial lubricant.This is a big juicy part for Kevin Spacey to go off on. However, he's left too much on his own. Danny DeVito is playing down on his energy and much more reserved. It's very much out of his character. After an interesting 3 role first half, the movie turns into a lifeless exchange between Spacey and DeVito. Instead of going off after an interesting start, this movie flattens out into something slightly less. Adapted from a stage play, this never really gets beyond that.

kevandeb At the time of writing the score currently assigned to this movie is shocking, a 6.5 rating does a disservice to the actors involved who give stellar performances showing the pressure involved working in this environment. Working in the same high pressure sales arena working on multi million dollar deals with some of the world's biggest company's, it demonstrates the highs and lows of achievement whilst also showing how personal lives mean nothing as the corporate monster sucks the life out of all concerned. I have interviewed for numerous roles that demand entry into key stakeholders and decision makers totally ignoring the fact that a trusted working relationship is far superior. 8/10 excellent film

Joseph Sylvers Set in a single hotel room, Danny Devito, Christian Bale, and Kevin Spacey, discuss aging, faith, and what it means to be a salesman. All actors at the top of their game, Christian Bale as the young conservative Christian newlywed on his first assign meant, Kevin Spacey as the middle aged jocular fast talker(similar to American Beauty), and Danny Devito as the suicidal old goat, ready to throw in the towel. Religion and Business clash, and boil over in the films final moments, and best of many dialogs.Like all single setting films, this resembles a play, however with oneiric fantasies of the characters as they'd like to see themselves, keep the movie afloat.I can't really think of anything I didn't like about this movie
