This very funny film explores how even a sleazy used car salesman can find some redemption at the moment of his death. Griasffi sucessfully weaves a story based on one-liners (typical of the used care salesman stereotype) and a character (death) who never never says a word. There is one slightly dated joke referencing O.J. Simpson, but, most of the humor is timeless. I highly recommend anyone interested in short comedies to find a copy of this film and watch it... over and over and over.

Very original and very funny. Had me wanting more! Joe adds a lot of wit to the piece and maintains a sense of fun throughout the piece. The dialogue is just right without being overbearing. I wish he can build on it and hopefully produce a longer piece.
It succeeds.

Dallas Observer, January, 1996: 'Brief and often funny in a base, guilty-pleasure way, this comedy - about a used car salesman trying to sell an automobile to the Grim Reaper - serves merely as a forum for an endless succession of jokes about death. What's really remarkable is how effortlessly it illustrates that references to dying permeate our daily conversation. 'Salesman' is a slight, funny video, with no greater goal than to entertain for a few minutes. It succeeds. (AWJ)'
