This movie had me on my own phone for half its runtime—an achievement, given it's only just over half as long as _The Wolf of Wall Street_ (2013), which I watched yesterday, comments on which drew comparisons to this film. While I didn't **love** _Wolf_, it was at least more interesting than _Glengarry_.

My boredom was quite unexpected, because on the surface this seems like it should be similar to other films I _did_ like, such as _12 Angry Men_ (1957) or _The Man from Earth_ (2007)—both of which also take place almost entirely in a single room and tell a story through dialogue with minimal action.

The problem with _Glengarry_, I think, is that every single character in the office is indistinguishable from the others. While I thought _Wolf_ ran quite a bit longer than it needed to, its characters each distinguished themselves from their officemates. _Glengarry_'s all sound the same. For such a star-studded cast as this, the same-y characterizations were a real surprise.

I admit I space(y)d out for a while in the middle, because there are only so many variations on "These leads are crap!" one can take.
