Boiler Room Movie Review 2000

Basic plot about a greedy naive young man caught up in a situation that's out of his control gets the high testosterone treament. Seth (Ribisi) jumps at the chance to become a trainee at an up-and-coming brokerage firm filled with macho twentysomethings greedy for success. But what Seth eventually discovers is that the firm he's allied himself with runs an illegal stock-trading operation that's under investigation. Well-cast and stylish, with Affleck effective in a small role as the firm's strutting recruiter.
