Editorial Reviews

Ben Younger's Boiler Room is a morality tale about sleazy stockbrokers that freely acknowledges its antecedents: The film's young, would-be millionaires spend their evenings in unfurnished mansions watching Wall Street on a big-screen TV and recite lines from Glengarry Glen Ross by heart. The mesmerizing Giovanni Ribisi stars as a college dropout with get-rich-quick dreams who joins a low-end brokerage house only to discover he's being taught to bilk families out of their life savings. The fun of Boiler Room is in the vibrant portrait it paints of a particularly high-pressure brand of salesmanship, with characters mouthing such memorable catch phrases as "don't pitch the bitch" (i.e., don't sell to women). Vin Diesel and Nicky Katt are vivid as Ribisi's fellow brokers, and Ben Affleck gets to deliver some zingy, testosterone-laced monologues urging new recruits to stop at nothing in their quest for the all-important "close." Ribisi's relationship with his disapproving father and his affair with the firm's secretary add some emotional dimension, but Boiler Room is really a boys' flick -- it's at its energetic best when exploring the rituals of an all-male universe where misogyny and bad manners rule. Gregory Baird, Barnes & Noble

September 08, 2003: This movie gives you the chills, it reminds you of the all-time classic ''Wall-Street'' with Bud Fox & Gordon Gecko. Only this time it is played by Seth Davis as Bud Fox. Boiler Room has an all-star cast with Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Nia Long, & Ben Affleck... If you haven't seen this film, you are missing out, it is unforgettable and it is one of those keeper DVD's to have in your collection. - Chad Castorina

July 20, 2003: This movie had such an amazing plot that it's unbelievable. It told a great story in terms of Seth Davis trying to win his father's approval after an argument at dinner one night over his casino business. Seth is motivated to get his life in order and jumps at the first chance he gets--becoming a stockbroker at some mediocre firm out on Long Island. At first it all seems too good to be true, and although Seth is excited about this kind of work and the opportunities which he knows will eventually present themselves to him, he is still wary and apt to play devil's advocate here and there. He clings to the support of a senior broker Chris Varick who eventually befriends him and makes it a point to make Seth feel welcome and encourage him. However, Seth also deals with his immediate team leader Greg Weinstein stepping on his toes every chance he gets as well as the romantic pressures of a new admired friend--the firm's secretary Abby. As time goes on, Greg becomes more envious, Chris becomes more and more encouraging of Seth, Seth makes more and more friends and more and more money, and Abby becomes more and more friendly. Let's not leave out the fact that his father is now looking at him in a different light as well. It all seems like the perfect scenario until Seth becomes a little too good at his job--and then the truth behind what makes the business run comes out. It's back to square one for Seth as his father attempts to disown him, Greg is sick and tired of him, and the FBI finally arrests him. Faced with the decision of his life, Seth eventually comes to realize that what he has worked so hard for in this shady firm is nothing compared to the respect and solidarity with which he believes he is to interact with his father and the senseless clients he has taken down and unknowingly cheated.
