Jack Lemmon & Pacino performances are about equal.

Pacino's avante garde line readings are what make the movie:

'HWHAT. Are you GOING. To DO. About it -- assHOLE!'

Pacino is a great actor, and he was acting at his normal level in the movie.

Lemon brought his A game though

Point is you had Pacino, Hackman and Nicholson in supporting roles together with any other member of the Glengarry ensemble cast who could have won the award in any other year.

Pacino oversold it as usual. I don't like much he's done the last few decades. Lemmon was fucking awesome. So was Spacey and the other sales bros, all of them were better than Pacino
