For those old enough to remember the movie Glengarry Glen Ross, they will remember the story... a salesforce including the likes of Al Pacino and Jack Lemmon are in serious trouble. Someone is going to get the chop.
A whirlwind comes in. A hot shot sales man who is also a bit of a management guru/consultant in the form of Alec Baldwin (a cameo and probably the best thing he has ever done) and in the couple of minutes he is in the movie, he steals the picture.
Baldwin’s character is there to motivate the flagging sales team.. and has the motto: “ABC... Always Be Closing!”
Quite a performance, and if the language wasn’t too bad from David Mamet’s screenplay, perhaps something that could be shown to a class... but I think I will leave that for now!
