I guess that just about sums it up. Having seen this film, which is a barely opened out version of the stage play - I'd really like to see the stage play.
I'm sure it would work much better in a small studio theatre - the sort of space where you can reach out and touch the actors - than in a large theatre or on the cinema screen.
That said, there are some great performances in this film. Every time Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino or Alec Baldwin are on screen it's riveting. But they're stage performances, not film performances.
