Topic: Film Review: Boiler Room

By Jack on 2000-02-22 12:03:49

This Film focuses on a bunch of twenty something hotshots working for a brokerage firm that promises to turn them into millionaires overnight. While many people say and I agree that almost every character in Ben Younger's elegantly staged thriller is borrowed from Oliver Stone or David Mamet it's Ben Younger's first feature (although he did have a short rejected by Sundance four years ago.) and he should be allowed to get away with it. Ben Younger was so intrigued by the remarkable statistic that one out of every 36 working Americans is a millionaire, that he spent a year interviewing workers in our nation's so-called boiler rooms and created this timely, high-wire drama about today's countless fortune-hunters. If you are into stocks and trading or just a plain old fan of money go see this movie..and always remember: when a stranger calls, trying to sell you stock, hang up!
