Review of Boiler Room

Boiler Room (2000)
7/10
Well done!
26 January 2010
I agree with both Ebert and Berardinelli with their view on this movie. This was a very well made film, one can see that a lot of effort has gone into making it by the Director, a lot of motivation. This is a compelling, very realistic motion picture about real life, with real, multi-layered characters we can feel for, we can love, hate or sympathize with. The acting is very good throughout, especially Ron Rifkin, Vin Diesel and Ben Affleck. If I would have to find a small fault in this movie, I must confess i believe that Ribisi is miscast (even though he does his best to play the part as well as possible). The ending of the film leaves some questions unanswered for the attentive viewer, but all in all does not take away from the overall positive impression. And for a debut, this motion picture is worthy of respect. Well done!
