An ambitious group of young turks operated an illegal stock brokerage firm. Their success at any lifestyle and philosophy redefines the notion of wealth and success in todays ultra fast-paced and competitive world. Corruption betrayal and conscience collide as the fbi starts to close in on them. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 11/11/2008 Starring: Giovanni Ribisi Nia Long Run time: 120 minutes Rating: R Director: Ben Younger
Viewer Reviews 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 to Wall Street? No. Worth watching? Yes.
