Boiler Room rocks! Except for the average acting, this film is flawless. Younger's script is absolutely outstanding. It takes us inside on what's happening and not happening. Not only does it show the life of the broker, like most do, it shows the life of the shambled investor in a capatalist world where the innocent get punished more than the guilty. This movie knows how to entertain. It not only is drama, it is a superb thriller as well. When I said at the top about the average acting, there are a few exceptions, the major one is Ben Affleck. He isn't in this one a long time, but this is the best performance he's given. He's terrifying! And this guy's a good actor, so his best perfomance means something. Also there's a really good perfomance from Nicky Katt from Boston Public. This is a guy who just fits into his roles so easily you gorget it's him. THAT'S good acting. This movie deserved a much better award season than it got. Boiler Room is a solid 9.
