rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author George_Chabot - "Greed is good." Wall Street "ABC - Always Be Closing." Glengarry Glen Ross I recently re-watched Wall Street on the special edition DVD and that reminded me of Boiler Room (2000), so I fished out my copy to get a double dose of...

mvie mu-1095081: Boiler Room Sizzles (in a good way)

Sun, 3 Mar 2002 23:20:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dashblast - This movie is excellent. There is such a wonderful combination that makes it so successful in my eyes. Statistically, this movie isn’t successful because it didn’t make a lot of money. But, of the people that did see Boiler Room, this movie is considered...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mgscmwa - Promises of fast money, fine cars, and success are the dreams the Boiler Room is made of. This film by first timer Ben Younger exposes one of the biggest and most profitable scams of the 90's. These fly-by-night brokerage firms, filled with...

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 11:52:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author x-kennedy - This was a beautifully pieced together film with such actors as Vinn Diesel, and Giovanni Ribisi, making their best acting roles yet. If you've seen Diesel's acting in Pitch Black and liked it, you should definitly check out this movie, absolutely...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kandcats - I liked but didn't love this movie... Ribisi clearly has talent and I look forward to watching more of his movies.

Ribisi plays Seth Davis, a college drop-out running a casino out of his apartment. It is clear he enjoys his work, is making...

mvie mu-1095081: Boiled Over?

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 16:03:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wayne.yang - It should be no surprise to most of us who have worked on the Street, that most of the movies that have been written about our profession have focused on the stockbroker. Main Street does not understand what we do.

I remember at one cocktail...

mvie mu-1095081: Can you believe this really happened to the cast???

Sat, 20 Jan 2001 03:04:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author motivmed - This is one of my favorite movies. I like it at many levels: the acting, the story, the concept. The ending is weak however. What amazes me is that after the movie, Ben Affleck and others were scammed on just like they did in this movie. You would think...

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 08:32:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stealth - Boiler Room is more than a movie - it is an unintended documentary about the sad state our financial industry has reached when corrupt organizations can scam money from our citizens. The plot involves a son who can't measure up to his father's...

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 14:26:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Canus - Where this movie may be tagged as a rags to riches, making a quick buck, the dirty underbelly of stock market, what this movie truly is is a timeless son wanting his father to accept him movie.

Ribisi plays a young college dropout who has been...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IwillBreaku - REVIEW: Boiler Room is the best movie i've seen in a long while. It is alot like Wall Street but this one is more modernized with the rap music and language and in my opinion I liked this one better.

mvie mu-1095081: Cold Calling

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 19:52:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author j_christley - Distilled of all but its most essential elements, Ben Younger's first film, Boiler Room, is a hybrid movie: it's a slicked-back documentary about the writer-director's past life in a stock brokerage firm, and a fairly hackneyed story of a young...

mvie mu-1095081: Boiler Room Makes a Killing on the Stock Market

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 17:03:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Grouch - I don’t know an IPO from HBO and when someone talks about “the market,” I still picture a little old lady, handbasket slung over one arm, haggling over the price of fresh fish with an apron-wearing street vendor. So, I approach a movie like Boiler...

mvie mu-1095081: Boiler Room isn't even luke warm

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 21:35:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author thephaze - Boiler Room has a great cast of young up and coming actors, but its plot is just too unbelievable and sappy to believe. Giovanni Ribisi hands in a pretty good main role as a hustler who goes from running a crooked casino out of his house to selling fake...

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 14:23:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gun_shy - I never really understood the stock market. Buying, selling, trading. It was all Greek to me so I simply ignored it. When I saw this movie none of that changed but it was still one hell of a ride. Ben Younger really made a name for himself with fast...

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 22:43:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aindovin - I really enjoyed Boiler Room, probably more than most.

I actually watched it twice in one sitting, which is highly unusual.

The premise is this: the main character is a very bright young man but earns money in not so ethical means. For...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fursty - I liked this movie for much of the beginning part. It was exciting and you could really identify with the main character and his plight. You saw him doing stupid things, and you knew that it was only going to lead to trouble, but he did them anyway. I...
