All ways and at the height of their game, power-play between Ricky Roma (Al Pacino), Shelley Levene (Jack Lemmon), George Aaronow (Alan Arkin), Dave Moss (Ed Harris) - inventing not as if, but since, their lives depend on it, taking each other on, and trying to dodge wild balls !

Alec Baldwin's mean cameo as Blake (unnamed) sets the tone*, and Jonathan Pryce's pliant diffidence and Kevin Spacey's reticent guile complete Glengarry Glen Ross (1992).
