Pros: Good performances, dialog Cons: Weak story, women not given much to do, profanity
"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 ...
Pros: The great acting, great plot, phenomenal ending, wondrous chemistry. Cons: Some unrealistic situations.
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...
Pros: White-knuckle tension, a rat-a-tat-tat script, and first-rate acting fuel this film Cons: An abrupt ending and a couple of detouring subplots are its only flaws
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...
Pros: Ribisi, an often entertaining script and characters Cons: Fails to take the next steps from "not bad" to "good" or "great"
Boiler Room sniffs what it is like to be a great, sharp edged drama, laced with gritty dialogue and realistic characters. It goes so far as to acknowledge Wall Street and Glengarry Glen Ross as direct influences. However, Boiler...
Pros: Good performances, great script. Cons: Gets a bit dry at times.
It's a real joy when a movie you know very little about leaves you totally riveted and eagerly awaiting the next scene. It's even better when there's a handful of excellent performances, sharp and witty dialogue, and a funky-fly soundtrack. Boiler Room...
Pros: Performances, screen-play, sound track Cons: some foul language
I watched this movie with the full intent of ripping it to shreds. Now that I have seen it (and that IS the point) I find myself surprised, and reluctantly impressed by it. Let me tell you why.
I have worked in two Telephone call centres: in one I sold Mutual Funds and gave investment advice. In Boiler Room, sellers are pushing company stocks. I can attest to the realism portrayed in "Boiler Room" regarding the greed among buyers ....
Pros: ACTORS VERY GOOD & GOOD SUB-PLOT Cons: VERY BAD LANGUAGE & SOME PARTS DRAG
I saw Boiler Room Friday, 18 Jan and I am a little to the right of the fence on this one. First off very strange title maybe it should have been Wall Street 1/2? Secondly I like some parts of the Movie and disliked some other parts.
Pros: Good generational statement, eye-opening Cons: None
Not since Fight Club have I walked out of a movie so impressed at how accurately a filmmaker can capture the pulse of a generation. Boiler Room extracts the rich-by-thirty mentality out of the 20-something mind and puts it on parade for the world to...
Pros: Some good acting, something to watch to pass the time Cons: the end leaves you hanging for more, to many questions not answered
Want to get rich quick? Well don't go down the path that Giovanni Ribisi took in this movie. Seth Davis (played by Giovanni Ribisi) is a college dropout who is determined to "Get rich quick" and prove to his father (played by Ron Rifkin) that...
Pros: great soundtrack, first part of the film features some interesting cinematography Cons: inconsistent, derivative, drags on and on.... we stuck it out just HOPING it would get better
In reviewing the suggested "points to consider," I realized that the only reason that my friend and I saw BOILERROOM was because we wanted to see a film with a bunch of good-looking guys who can do a bit of acting.
Pros: High energy story and performances! Cons: None
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...
Pros: Great Story-Good Soundtrack-Good Performances Cons: Some Minor Plotholes-Dry Ending
I am not a big fan of Giovanni Ribisi but his latest movie Boiler Room did look interesting. With it's nice little semi all-star cast and it's fast paced trailers I wanted to see it. Unfortunately I never got to see it in the theaters so when I saw it...
Pros: Ribisi's performance, intelligence and intensity of the script Cons: unnecessary romantic subplot
"Welcome, to the new American Dream”
Greed, capitalism, power, three terms that clearly defined the 90s. What can I get, how much can I have, and how can I get it, were questions that all of us probably asked at one point. Wall...
