Boiler Room [Blu-ray] [2000]

Great movie, fast delivery and great price - a must see

Great movie, with great actors! I would highly recommend watching!

A hidden gem I remember form my Blockbuster days; Ribisi shines, too bad Nia Long doesn't get much action. Affleck's turn as Baldwin's character from GGR is legit. All around solid story and acting and you get really interested in the bro culture finance world. Would recommend if you like genre movies that put certain types of jobs/hobbies/cultures under a microscope and dissects them down to the nitty gritty details.

Great movie but best buy sucks and doesn't care about the customers.

This was a very well done look into the atrocities of the selling of illegal worthless stocks, the people who reveled in the trade, the people destroyed by deceit and their own greed and one bright but naive man who came to understand the entire sham. Great acting, writing and directing.

It's a good movie for it's time and has a decent cast for the era in which it was made. It is reminiscent to an eariler version of Wall Street, also Vin Diesel in his earlier roles before he has stereotyped as Dominic Torreto. Kind of like Wall Street on steroids of the 90's genra

Great movie. Have seen it multiple times and still had to buy it. Unfortunately it was not available in 4K disc.

The Boiler Room dvd has photo images of Vin Diesel, Giovanni Ribisi, and Nia Long on the front of the dvd cover. With Nicky Katt also listed to be in the movie. I admit that Boiler Room is another film that I heard about via an e-mail connected to the office of Jordan Belfort. Due to obvious and understandable legal reasons, it is mentioned during the play of the dvd that Boiler Room is fiction. This is because one can easily see the obvious parallels between Wolf of Wall Street and Boiler Room The character of Seth Davis (Ribisi) just wants to make his father proud when it comes to eking out a living for himself. Davis sees opportunity when he gets hired at a stock brokerage firm, part of the appeal being is that he is a newcomer to working in the field. Seth Davis thrives in his job and even falls in love with a fellow coworker named Abbia (Nia Long). There are obvious references to the Glengarry Ross movie in Boiler room with referencing both the movie and the Always Be Closing phrase. There is even a cultural nod to the Wall Street movie (the character of Seth Davis is seen watching the Wall Street movie with his coworkers). I just seen his name on the back of the dvd cover, yet I admit that I did not know that Ben Affleck was in the Boiler Room film until I saw him in scenes involved with doing the hiring at the stock brokerage firm. Anyhow, things seem to be going along well for Davis until he convinces a purchasing manager at a Gourmet Foods Company to be a client. To exacerbate the situation, the gourmet foods purchasing manager is not just responsible for himself, but he is shown to be both a father and husband who is trying to place a large down payment on a home with his wife (therefore the stakes are even higher than if it was just him and his wife). The following are some of the features attributed to the Boiler Room dvd-the chance to play the movie with filmmaker commentary, isolated score with composer commentary by The Angel, deleted scenes/alternate ending, theatrical trailer, cast and crew filmographies. There are also dvd rom features of a script to screen that allows a read of the screenplay and original theatrical web site on the dvd and listed to be more.
