Editorial Review:
Eddie is an aging traveling diamond salesman working the back roads of Pennsylvania. He's developed longstanding relationships with his clients and prides himself in his knowledge of the trade. After a heart attack, management deems him too high a risk to be carrying the expensive collection of diamonds. His last assignment is to train a rookie salesman, Bobby, whose cocky sales tactics promise to estrange Eddie's long-standing clientele. Needless to say, the relationship between the two men gets off to a rocky start but eventually, the two find that each has something valuable to offer the other.

"Beware, I am the jewel and around me there is lead, pallid, ignominious lead!"
A friend of mine reminded me of this movie recently via e-mail, so I stuck in an old copy and gave it another viewing. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much I decided to write a review to remind myself how much I enjoyed it in case I ever forgot again. I think it was Oscar Wilde, or Mel, the cook on Alice, who said something like only a shallow person doesn't judge a book by its cover. ... Read More
Rating: - Diamond In The Rough
Love them or hate them, Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, followed by Richard Roeper, exposed the American public to films that may never have been seen otherwise. Through their television show, they exposed films that were having difficulty getting distributed. Recently, Ebert and Roeper favorably reviewed a film called "Diamond Men", a small independent film starring Robert Forster and Donnie Wahlberg. The film has just been released in LA. The theater for the Sunday matinee screening I attended was about ... Read More
Rating: - A subtle movie with lots of sparkle
I saw this film on Independent Film Channel so I can't comment on the DVD aspects. But the story is great. As another review mentioned, this is a character study and you won't see any elves or CGI. Just some characters that are working together in a push-pull relationship and then together. Robert Forrester is an under-rated actor. He can take dialogue and drive it straight home. It would be a good movie for someone starting their first job. Listening and observing is just a important as the knowledge ... Read More
Rating:  - Good Movie - OK DVD
I enjoyed this movie and I would recommend it. Forrester carries this movie, if you liked him in Jackie Brown, then you will like him in this.
On the downside, I was not entirely happy with the DVD. The Anamorphic disc is a bit misleading, as you actually see more on the 4:3 setting of your DVD Player. If you have a 16:9 TV as I do, it ends up clipping off the top and bottom of the picture, including some of the captions (aka "Week 1" etc). In some scenes you can tell the tops of peoples heads are ... Read More
Rating:  - A sleeper to sleep to
I coudn't finish this film, and I didn't think it was interesting at all. Honestly, the acting seemed forced, and there wasn't any sort of play between Robert Forster and Donnie Wahlberg, which seemed to be the main focus of this film. Just a seriously calmed down older guy and a cliché young guy who wants to have sex with every girl he meets. Most of what happened in this movie felt unnatural to me, and never surreal enough for that fact not to matter. At least take the time to learn what to expect if you plan ... Read More
