Boiler Room (2000)
6/10

Boiler Room starring Giovanni Ribisi. Scene enters where takes the bait, diving into a stock-selling brokerage of sorts paying larger than seemingly possible commissions to its obsessed new recruits. The bland looking Giovanni is great with his attentive, yet skeptical, always- thinking plain-faced appearance.

Giovanni's father isn't easy to please. The best scenes of the movie are between he and his judge-dad, "I'm not your best friend, I'm your father." Giovanni desperately tries to explain his side, his father interrupts, "What side? You're wrong!"

Vin Diesel also gives a solid performance as the senior partner who takes Giovanni under his wings, far from his mold where he is today. The first act stalls and is quite a development but the second act comes into fruition, as we see the schemes unfold.
