Gagner son premier million de dollars en quelques semaines, c'est tentant. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui attire tous ceux qui travaillent dans la "boiler room" de JT Martin, ce lieu incroyable ou se démènent d'ambitieux jeunes pour vendre par téléphone n'importe quel placement, même a ceux qui n'en ont pas toujours besoin, en prélevant au passage des commissions exorbitantes. Pour Seth Davis, dix-neuf ans, l'occasion est trop belle. Avec ce job, il pourra faire fortune mais aussi regagner l'estime de son père, et même oublier sa tentative ratée de monter un casino clandestin. (texte officiel du distributeur)

Considering this isn’t exactly a new movie, it’s a very decent thriller about shareholders. It’s dynamic, it isn’t boring, and it surprises with a strong cast of actors, all of which are well-respected Hollywood faces nowadays.

Even though I don't know the world of financial transactions and I didn't understand 90% of the technical terms, I had a lot of fun.

A decent genre film set in the world of ruthless American yuppies who, as stock brokers with sharp elbows, try to fleece trusting middle-class pigeons. Giovanni Ribisi has a close resemblance and mimicry to similar characters, he thoroughly enjoys playing these villains, and it is not surprising that he was cast as the head of a powerful mining company in the blockbuster film Avatar, where he is literally the embodiment of greed and unscrupulousness. Money and experiences are the main and only motivation for this ambitious gang. Where American Psycho fails, Boiler Room stands on solid ground and delivers a tight crime story with interesting villains, a strong plot, and an enlightening and impactful resolution. Overall impression: 75%.
