(1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1   2/4 "...its promising characters are completely eclipsed by the routine plot, which is so dreary and predictable that watching the events unfold becomes somewhat of a checklist."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes C+ "At least, it comes without the moral piety of an Oliver Stone film."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "For all of its potential, [the film] never breaks away from being merely skin-deep."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B "A curiously provocative look at the male psyche, ultimately turning inward to examine issues of ethics and morality -- all while still being as crass and vulgar as possible. Just like a guy."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider A "Boiler Room is a new kind of triumph: never has a film been so successfully derivative."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C+ "Ultimately, Boiler Room has a cut-rate feel to it, rather like the company whose workings it portrays."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "The efforts of one unhappy young man to win the love of his father."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B- "The New York Stock Exchange gets a healthy dose of Gen-X amorality, but in the end, the more things change, the more things stay the same."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 3/4 "A compelling movie-going experience."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "Ribisi is magnificent as a wide-eyed innocent who transitions into a slick veteran pitchman."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth "This film can't overcome the unfavorable comparisons to that picture [Wall Street] from which it borrows far too heavily."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "I was entertained throughout this film and thoroughly enjoyed the open references to the former films."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/4 "Interesante retrato del estado al que ha llegado el sistema político conocido como capitalismo"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 1/5 "If I want to watch folks sit around and berate each other and dog women while making millions of dollars, I'll watch WWF"   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 3.5/4 "Boiler Room grips you early, with its fascinating insights and Younger's appropriation of hip hop music and his snappy, jump-cut-y visual style, and it hardly ever let go."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 7/10 "Filmmaker Ben Younger makes not a single false move when delineating the merciless, high-testosterone world of boiler-room brokerages."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh low +2 out of -4..+4 "The film is at its best at what should be the hardest task, interesting the audience in the finances and the trading and at the same time being educational."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3.5/4 "The tension and pacing of Boiler Room are fast and exciting, like in a good thriller, and the setting is exotic and original."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9/10 "Boiler Room has a such a frightening ring of truth to it that I wouldn't be surprised if somebody somewhere was calling lawyers."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "This smart tale of greed in the stock trade indeed reaches a figurative boil."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 4/5 "This movie has one of the best scripts in many months."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "Intriguing ... but the film is too busy being hip and preachy to notice the irony."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "A skillful and convincing rise-and-fall story."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 8/10 "Vin Diesel, who plays senior broker Chris Varick, is a hulking actor with a menacing screen presence and a cavernous bass voice. Watch this guy, he's going places."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "Vin Diesel steals nearly every scene he is in as Chris, one of the top earners in the firm and the only one who still has a heart."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4.5/5 "Wall Street Jr., only it's better than Wall Street."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 7/10 "If you've ever responded to a telephone solicitation, be prepared for an eye-opener!"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 8/10 Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1
