Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Wow. After the years I've been in the business, going from sales person to closer, to desk manager to gsm to owner of my own dealership, I still have the turns in my stomach. If you're in the business you know what I mean. I watched this movie and felt them, the stress of not knowing if "enough cars will be sold" and the drive this man has, his face and heart strained with time and self torture. I encourage EVERY car sales professional to watch this movie. Also, read the Ziegler books "Cars and People: Pissing at 60 miles an hour" and "Cars and People: How To Put the Two Together."

"My job as a slasher, being a used car salesperson,liquidator, doing these auction sales...people automatically assumewhatever I say, whatever comes out of my mouth is a lie" Meet MichaelBennett, better known as "The Slasher," a raspy-voiced family man whoexudes so much nervous energy that he smokes two cigarettes at a timeand can hardly stand still. When auto dealerships are desperate to dumptheir stale inventory as quickly as possible, the California-basedBennett is flown all over the country to slash prices and clear entirelots within a few short days. Director John Landis (The Blues Brothers,Animal House, An American Werewolf in London) brilliantly turns hiscomedic eye on one particularly off-the-wall weekend in the life ofBennett, as he's called upon to help a struggling dealership in Memphis,home to Elvis Presely and the bankruptcy capital of the world. Featuringa pitc-perfect Southern soul soundtrack, including forgotten favorites from Sam & Dave, Booker T. and the MG's, and Otis Redding,SLASHER is a frenetic, fascinating and intensely funny look at one manso tightly wound, he couldn't be anything other than a car salesman.
