| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Boiler Room |
|---|
Boiler Room is about a Seth (Ribisi) who gets offered a job by Greg (Kat) being a stockbroker at J.T. Marlin, in order to redeem himself to his family for past mishaps. While at the job Seth finds friendship with his fellow stockbroker Chris (Diesel) who both try to uncover how they get their million+ dollar paychecks and basically who is behind this firm. Seth also finds romance between his secretary (Long) while working at J.T. Greg becomes jealous of the fact she likes Seth and that starts conflict within the firm. The ending to this film is awesome. If you liked Michael Douglas' Wallstreet then you will love Boiler Room. Great cast of characters. Overall GREAT FILM!!
