I just saw this on IFC, and man is it a disturbing movie. Not disturbing like Requiem for a Dream, but a disgusting disturbing. It's kind of the same way I felt after watching Igby Goes Down, just a bit of uneasy disgust.

But, it was an awesome film, very powerful, especially for guys. I almost want to feel sympathy for the poor salesmen at first, but then again, I realize there are so many other jobs to do, but they just want to make the quick buck.

If you haven't seen this, rent it, one of the best movies I've ever seen. The screeplay is intense, acting very convincing, and camerawork very dymanic.

Haha, I've wanted to see this for a while, but never got around to renting it. You know, I was only twelve when it came out in theaters...

Great movie. For you youngsters that liked Vin Diesel's spiel in Boiler Room, watch this movie for Alec Baldwin's cameo. "Third place, you're fired!"

A must for anyone who's ever worked in sales. Gives you a glimpse into the "dark side".

Wal Mart sells the special edition DVD for $8.88 before tax. Good deal, methinks.
