Based
on Roger Rueff's stage play HOSPITALITY SUITE (which he
adapts for the big screen himself), this tell the story of one night
in a hotel hospitality suite with three lubricant salesman attending
a convention for manufacturers. Their goal for the evening is to sign
aboard "the big kahuna" of accounts, Dick Fuller, and they will do
just about anything to get his business.
Well-done
material from first-time screenwriter Rueff and first-time director
Swanbeck. However it's the performances by the three leads that
brings this knowing and insightful film to life, with Kevin Spacey
delivering yet another incredible performance. Delves far deeper into
the human psyche than you'd expect from material about lubricant
salesman, with lots of commentary about the state of modern religion,
it's a fascinating work and quite humorous as well. Unfairly
overlooked, but a gem worth picking up at the video store, and a
must-see for Spacey fans.
