Info
The film is often compared to Glengarry Glen Ross and Wall Street, and both movies are quoted — by name and with lines of dialogue — by characters in the film, and in one instance a whole scene (from Wall Street) is recited by the characters as they watch it on video. Alec Baldwin’s character in Glengarry is often quoted by Ben Affleck’s character.
