Tommy is a vacuum cleaner salesman gripped by the fever of closing the deal. He lives on puffa rice stored in his glove compartment, listens to motivation tapes of his own voice shouting 'Sell, sell, fucking sell' and his punters are up to their eyes in debt. Even Tommy admits his 'soul's in holes'. He's sure the Golden Vac (the holy grail of vacuum salesmanship) can be his - if only he hadn't been saddled with Pete, a meek sales trainee trying to help his girlfriend quit stripping.

truly one of the best movies ever and im not joking. i am dying laughing the entire way through, its so overwhelming british and nasty and basically the best thing ever. adult skins? tommy rag best salesman ever award?
nightmare situation: your girlfriend leaves you, you are wearing cat ears and thong underwear (you are a man) you go downstairs and find your hoarder neighbour dead in her apartment full of candles and newspaper, you light her house on fire, tommy rag pulls up to your house and begins screaming and honking his horn, he is drinking and driving, he is playing a motivational salesman tape (it’s his own voice screaming SELL SELL FUCKING SELL over and over) you hop in the car with him, pick up a random hitchhiker and try to sell him a vacuum, you bond over house music, tommy gets completely nude, challengers.

Very inspiring horrible horrible film. Pretty twisted and negative but nothing is that straight forward. Its basic but at the same time every frame was a bit-crushed painting.
