Boiler Room
2000
**½
Director: Ben Younger
Cast: Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Nia Lonng, Nicky Katt, Ron Rifkin
An idle young man joins a trainee programme in a dodgy brokerage firm, and believes he has found a shortcut to success. Ben Younger's debut is slick and entertaining, but the story of a man who lets his greed blind him at the expense of his father's respect is just a rehash of Wall Street, even if the influence is acknowledged in one scene.
