The recent film Boiler Room is a clever drama about getting rich

quick in today’s stock market boom.

Seth Davis is a 19-year-old college dropout who has just signed on with one

of the hottest young investment firms on the market, J.T. Marlin. All of

the brokers at this firm make their first million within three years. Soon

after starting his career, Seth finds out the real reason J.T. Marlin and

all of its brokers are so successful.

Newcomer Ben Young wrote and directed this masterpiece, and he obviously

spared no expense when it comes to the story. This film is very smart, and

it gives a look into the hidden world of high finance and boiler

rooms.

The casting in this film is absolutely superb. Giovanni Ribisi plays the

protagonist, Seth Green. As always, Ribisi does a great job of showing the

audience exactly what the writer had in mind for the character he portrays.

Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Jamie Kennedy and Tom Everett Scott costar as some

of the senior brokers at J.T. Marlin. Every performance in this film is at

least very good, if not great.

The music in the film is outstanding. Boiler Room shows some promise

on having a really great soundtrack.

Boiler Room is a great film that deserves more attention than it

seems to be getting. It gives the audience a twisted view of the reality

that brokers deal with every day. Although not everyone can appreciate this

movie, it is definitely a good film for business majors to view.
