Summary: Fantastic! Get it now!
Review: I saw this one on the big screen and I can't wait for the DVD. I think it's a brilliant film and really makes finance interesting - drawing from Wall Street, especially with the main character's relationship with his father, this film makes money fun. Watch for the scene where many of the main characters are watching Wall Street on the VCR and know it by heart, line by line. This film makes you excited to know about commissions, IPOs, and the various scams present on today's stock market. I can see it now...the incredible overfluorescence, the cramped offices, everything - there's a beautiful washed-out look to the film. I love it. Think of the Detroit sequences of Steven Soderbergh's Out Of Sight, and you've got that same kind of feeling. I think the use of rap throughout the film is a stroke of genius. The opening lines of the film, a narration by Giovanni Ribisi, sets the tone perfectly (this is the best I can remember it): "Like Notorious B.I.G. once said, you've either got a great jump shot, or you're swinging crack rock. So I became the white-boy equivalent of a drug dealer: I became a stock broker."

Summary: Sleeper of the Year
Review: Boiler Room captures the drama and intense relationships of the white collar working world. The characters are related to real life human beings, in such the audience can feel their emotions. The writing is creative, while the movie focuses on the relationships that occur in their office. Givini Ribisi gives the performance of his life, while the whole time you do not want the movie to end.

Summary: A Definite Favorite of Mine
Review: There seems to be a faction of sorts that this movie is forming. Those who like Wall Street type movies and those who don't. As a stockbroker in training (much like the main character), I found this movie entertaining and even comical at times. Giovanni Ruibisi plays a full character and does so in a fresh way. I myself have sat at a desk and made cold calls all day. It was only by remembering this movie that made it tolerable. And correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have seen this movie, you will never talk to a tele-marketer the same way again!

Summary: Awful
Review: This film had the foulest language I have ever heard, it is not worth the plastic it is on. The movie has no point. The ending has no point. It is not even a good stock flick, it has nothing to do with wall street. Not even worth a buck rental. watch Wall Street instead.

Summary: A Man's Movie
Review: Meet Seth Davis. He wasn't big on school, but he had the smartsto set up and run his own casino. His little business would have beena model for honest gambling in a state like Nevada, but in Seth's town, it's illegal. And his Dad is a judge. Having made a tidy sum in his business, he tries to honor his Dad's wishes and moves into the more respectable profession of stockbrokering, at the little-known Long Island shop, J. T. Marlin. And this is where the movie begins to dazzle. It showcases the rough world of strong-arm salesmanship and the extraordinary talents of the masters of the discipline. (The philosophy is summed up in Jim's pithy insight: "A sale is made in every phone call. Either you sell the customer on your idea or he sells you on his. Either way, a sale is made.") And while Seth admires his gurus and proves himself to be an apt pupil, he also begins to unravel the corruption behind the profits and the ruined lives left in the wake of his successful seductions. What Seth does in the face of his discoveries marks the turning point of the movie and reveals the stuff men are made of. I won't tell you what happens, but I can tell you this: Go watch the movie!

Summary: flashback of a Middle Eastern disaster
Review: Definitly worth watching, I've seen it 3 times in the movies and I'm getting it on DVD as soon as it gets out. This movie gives Wall Street a challenge for best movie relating the stock market or trading in general. Vin Diesel shined in that movie and so did Ribisi. I would recommend this movie to everyone, even my friends that didn't know anything about trading loved it. It also remindes me of the tragical market disaster in the Middle East called "Soug Al-Manakh" were they were doing the exact same thing the boiler room did. Watching it made me wonder if that's the story they were portraying. This would easily make my top 10 favourite movie list. A Must see

Summary: A Tale of Greed
Review: A fly-by-night stock brokerage selling bogus stocks to unsuspecting customers is the scene for this tale of greed as a young man, Seth, played by Giovanni Ribisi of "Wonder Years" fame, gets into the business. The tale of his rise, fall and eventual redemption kept me on the edge of my seat. There was so much action and excitement to the film that I didn't look at my watch once. Seth also has a troubled relationship with his father, Ron Rifkin which was well crafted and moving. And a relationship with the Afro American receptionist, played by Nia Long which lacked the electricity to make it real. There's a cameo appearance of Ben Affleck as one of the brokers, but he is obviously just in this movie to give it a little star appeal. The script is fast paced, and well developed, although I didn't quite understand all the stock broker terms. I didn't need to though; knew it was all a scam. There's also some Jewish-Italian ethnic jokes that seemed superfluous to the plot, especially since characters to whom they were directed seemed to be just as WASP as everyone else. For pure entertainment, though, and a caustic look at this rather obscene interpretation of the American dream, check out this lively and interesting video.

Summary: A Must See!
Review: Boiler Room is a must see! This is a great film that will get most of you out there really pumped! A great movie about a small start up stock broker company called J.T Marlins and a young kid who joins this company hoping to get rich. Not knowing that there's more trouble than involved, he joins the company and realizes that there's more than he bargained for. Econ majors and stock brokers, this one's for you!
