Some good acting. But I may have already seen too many Mamet movies; his trademark banter all begins to sound the same. This one happens to have a lot of potty-mouths. Not sure what the point was. Pretty depressing - a group of men who hate their jobs, or are bad at it, but are still scared to death of losing their jobs. I guess maybe that was the point. Couldn't tell if what they were selling was legit or a scam, so I was unable to commit to any feelings towards the characters.
