The intense soundtrack of Boiler Room is a fitting underscore for this movie, which pulses with the vigor of young, rich, amoral men wreaking havoc. This is not the antisocietal havoc of Fight Club, but the more deliberate mayhem that comes from greed run amok. The testosterone-junkie brokers of J.T. Marlin (the only female in the office is Abby, the receptionist and love interest, played by Nia Long) are out to make the sale, and whether that sale is legal or ethical doesn't matter.
Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi) is a 19-year-old college dropout who strives for approval from his father (Ron Rifkin), a judge who is horrified that his son operates a 24-hour illicit casino. When an old friend visits the casino with a fellow broker, Davis is impressed by their wads of money and yellow Ferrari, and decides to join the firm. In no time he's making sales and settling into the groove of the office and all the after-hours perks, but the dream fades when Davis discovers the scam that is making all of the brokers wealthy beyond their dreams.
Borrowing heavily from Wall Street and Glengarry Glen Ross, Boiler Room is at its best when dealing with matters of money, and powerful scenes of Davis learning to be a "closer" showcase the significant talent of Ribisi, Nicky Katt, and Vin Diesel. The movie flounders when developing the relationship between Davis and his father, becoming sentimental and trite. However, as a fable of modern society and a nostalgic vehicle about the days of yuppies past, Boiler Room is right on the money. --Jenny Brown

Right off - this is one of Giovanni Ribisi's best performances. It's compelling but we never really feel the heat of the Boiler Room. The Danger. The Action. Ben Affleck is extremely good but brief in this - one of his forgotten performances. Everything else about the movie has been said here. More sex, scandal and intrigue would've elevated this way above. EXTRAS: The "original ending" is actually a lot more artful and smarter than the one we get in the final cut. Overall, worth comparing ... Read More

My sister often rants and raves about the greatness of this movie when I'm around her. Her obvious bias to the hotness that is Vin Diesel clearly distorts her opinion of this movie, but I must say that after actually giving it a try, there are moments in this movie that work extremely well, and when it's all said and done it's actually a pretty decent movie.
The film revolves around college dropout Seth Davis who is constantly trying to get out from under his fathers disapproval. Dropping ... Read More

Boiler Room in my opinion is like a twenty first century Wall Street. Giovanni Ribbisi is in his Charlie Sheen mood in the lead role while in a small part Ben Affleck is kind of like the Micheal Douglas character. Vin Diesel gave one of his first lead hollywood dramtaic performances roles in this movie and I wish he would return to those. Also look for the sexy Nia Long as Ribbisi's love interest . A great debut from director Ben Younger who needs to be given more work in Hollywood.

I really agree with the positive reviews. How can one make moral vacuity interesting? This film succeeds. The lead character is not a tough guy with a conscience like Marlon Brando in 'On The Waterfront.' Rather, he pursues his amoral path with an almost innocent gusto.
Gambling. Stealing. Lying. Fornicating. Cursing. Arrogance. These are all treated as the most normal qualities in the world. The main character and his girlfriend even wonder why he sometimes has twinges of conscience. ... Read More

This was a requested gift for son-in-law... he liked it but we didn't much care for it.
