Well as my first movie review I am going to go with the movie Boiler Room. I watched it for the first time last night, I know what some of you are saying what the fuck? you just watched it after all these years? Well the answer is yes, I just finally watched it so get over it. Anyways on to the review.
I really REALLY liked this movie. I think most of the reason was because of my current hell hole of job I am at now. I could really relate. The acting was great some of the best work I have ever seen out of Giovanni Ribisi. The basic plot of the story is that Seth Davis (Ribisi) is a college drop out that has his own casino. His father who is a judge finds out about the casino and makes him more or less shut it down. In doing so Seth meets a “stock broker” named Greg Weinstein (played by Nicky Katt – Dazed and Confused). Greg tells him about this stock brokerage company. Seth is looking for the quick easy buck and gets sucked in. Soon his conscience gets the best of him and he realizes how he is company is screwing people out of money.
The movie is straight forward there isn’t any or many twists or turns and will keep you sucked in the entire time. If you are a salesman you will definitely like the movie especially if you suck at selling and need pitching help. The movie shows how selling really can be and how companies like this run their business, Do what ever it takes to make the sale.
There it is the first of many reviews. Hope you enjoy, if you didn’t then you can fuck off. Good day!!
