Some plays transferred to film lose a lot of the interpersonal play between characters and the fundamental nature of the story is changed. This is certainly not the case here. The scenes and character interactions could almost be transferred to a theatre with little to no change. This, in my opinion, is the only way to adapt a stage play to a movie.
The story itself is a very gritty and tense interplay between a group of real estate salesmen who have been given an order by their boss "close a sale or your fired" (played wonderfully by Alec Baldwin). What happens next is a study in the worst of human traits.
As I stated initially, the great thing about this movie is the interplay between the characters. It is a film that is basically about the dialogue and for the dialogue. One I would highly recommend.
