This movie has some great acting and really goes into the emotional aspect of stock trading. It's a constant battle between greed and fear and the morality of it all. The only problem I had was that it seemed obvious that while trying to keep this movie under 2 hours (which it is exactly) sceens got edited out. And instead of one grand ending, which would have made this film epic, they instead decided to split it into two shorter endings. Neither one of them alone makes complete sense or gives you that feeling of closure. But this is definetly one for the home collection and worth seeing many times. I rated this 5 stars only to bring the average up. (It deserves 4 stars at minimum)

I watched it in 2000 and was blown away and it continues to deliver to me today! Great acting and a real plot with serious personal and legal issues! Awesome...a must watch!

I really enjoyed Boiler Room. If for nothing else, for it's authenticity based on real life "boiler firms" similar to this. The acting is great, and very well done.

Its loosely based on Wall Street. After seeing wall street (which I also own as a part of my collection), this movie seems to fall flat. Overall a average movie worth seeing just once.

This movie had good acting and a good storyline, but boy was it a messed up plot. It really outlines the pitfalls of the stock market and high-pressure salesmen. It overall outlines how some people put greed, selfishness, and moneymaking above ethics. Like I said, it was a good film and I'm glad I watched it, but be prepared for several moments of disgust with certain professions and industries.

This movie is excellent! If you have ever been in sales, or invested in stocks without a broker, or if you like Wall Street, Tin Men or Glengary Glenn Ross... you must see. Sopranos touched on the Boiler Rooms one season. They were (are?) real.
