I found this movie to be in desperate need of narration and editing.
I don't think there's a single scene that lasts more than 2 minutes, so you have a bunch of short moments all over the place - salesman in car, salesman in someone's home, salesman in meeting, etc.
But there's no real narrative to the story. It's just moments, and a string of moments doesn't make a movie.
The makers should have picked one man and followed him, given us some background, etc. Instead there are many faces and it's hard to remember one from the other. There is no start, middle, or end to the story - just a bunch of short scenes and then we're done. So what was the point?
They should have introduced these men, told us their challenges, interviewed them and let them speak to the camera, etc. Some men were fired, we're told in passing - why? Poor sales? How about taking one guy who's on the bubble and following his story?
Just boring. The "moments of desperation" are kind of meaningless because we don't know the people.
I really wanted to like this movie but it's a mess.
