I have no time for rap..whatever but BOILER ROOM was terrific.
It should be sold as a package with Wall St. and Glen Gary Glen Ross. BAMM.
So many strong characters. A Nia Long fan here, ever since.
Probably Vin's most realistic role.
The entire cast/crew Kennedy, Caan, Kaat, Everett Scott, etc. was right on Time.
One of the best movies of the last decde and a half.
Certainly one of the best ever about Wall Street (er ... Lon Gisland).
Loved the soundtrack.
Not my thing usually, but a nice switch-up and very appropriate, especially for the cast's age.
Best movie of the past decade and a half? Boiler Room isn't even the best movie of the past 24 hours. I always see this movie on list of worst movies of all time. I only went on this message board after checking out Afflecks page cuz i couldn't believe he was cast as Batman.
There was a thread where everybody was laughing and making fun of Afflecks board room smile speech, so I figured I'd check out this page. Sure enough, a whole bunch of people liked this movie. Wall Street is in another stratosphere compared with this hunk of garbage. Wall Street: classic, Boiler Room? I can't think of a word less than garbage.
How can somebody like Wall Street AND like Boiler Room? It doesn't make sense. If you said you like Freddie Got Fingered or Gigli or Bridesmaids and you liked Boiler Room, then I'd understand. But not Wall Street.
I have to re-watch Wall Street now to see whether it's as good as I remember cuz I've been more entertained watching water boil than watching Boiler Room.
Wow.

Sounds more like a personal problem by Groughrew.
Plus he keeps talking about who like what. For agreement with his off base take?

totally agree, just love all of the performaces in this,, and my favorite part was when they were at the apt, and reciting all of the lines from Wall St.
are you going to bark all day little doggie,, or are you going to bite
absolutely...or...
B. When Affleck makes his cameo as the badass to vet the potential brokers. "Anyone who sez that money is the root of all evil, Hasn't Got Any"
Throws his car keys (for a Ferrari) on the table. etc.
C. After Seth tells the Vin character something urgent is happening, for privacy they move to the stairwell. As Seth stammers, The Vin character cuts the clutter with...
"WHAT did YOU...DOoo? !!!
This was a pretty good flick. I don't know why the haters hate but the performances from the cast were good all around. Lots of memorable scenes.
shareThe entire cast/crew Kennedy, Caan, Kaat, Everett Scott, etc. was right on Time.Jamie Kennedy is so obnoxious all the time that I can't see how anyone would applaud his presence in any movie.
Actually PWG was "right on time" here.
The characteristics of the players he hates exhibit were exactly what the roles
...CALLED FOR. Get it?
PWG evidently cannot see the trees...due to the forest.

Those guys were all supposed to be douchey and the actors portrayed them convincingly, especially Katt. Perhaps not the most incredible performances from them but they did the job.
"This is dead air, Barry....dead air."
I've seen Nicky Katt and Scott Caan many times and they are always the same. Katt always seems like a cocky smartass and Caan's spoiled, conceit always shows through. I've never seen either one in a role where I thought they must be likeable guys in real life.
Tolerance Is Intolerant Of Politically Incorrect Thought...🇺🇸
TBH, I haven't seen Katt in anything else, not that I can remember anyway. Caan did play the same character type on "Entourage", true.
Perhaps it's the roles that they're being typecasted for? Though neither of them seem like the most varied actors, I agree with you.
