It's a really good ensemble movie with really excellent performances. Great? I'm not sure as it feels like a filmed stage play.

Yeah, that's fair enough. There's no creative direction or whatever. It serves as a record of a stage play. Mind, they weren't as successful with other Mamet works.
The performances are incredible. I can't think of another film with such an impressive cast. And they're all so right in their parts.

I do like that kind of claustrophobic ensemble film, I guess '12 Angry Men' set the template for them. Not as good as 'Glengarry..', but 'Margin Call' has a similar feel and is well worth a watch if you haven't seen it. |

The steak knives bit is great, but as a whole, it's no Nude On the Moon.

I think that's the scene where people who think AB can act, started thinking so. I don't think a Mamet play has made it to the screen in better shape.
it's reputation grows with each passing year. I hear "coffee is for closers" a lot.

Yeah, I hear that line quite a bit too.
The scene with Pacino eviscerating the company 'fairy' is incredible. I don't even know if it's good acting and I don't care much - it's just so entertaining!
