...watch Glengarry Glen Ross to learn the tricks of their trade and Wall Street to justify it. But they don't really need audio-visual education. Not when they have Jim Young so close at hand. He's their recruiter, mentor, goad and ideal. He's played by Ben Affleck, and the role may be the best thing Affleck has ever done--so abusive, yet so coldly glamorous in his amorality...
