New Line Cinema’s latest film, “Boiler Room,” has recreated the drive and some of the ignorance of college men eager to make their mark in the financial world.Giovanni Ribisi is Seth Davis, a recent college dropout, who is self-employed by a small time casino, which he runs out of his living room for neighborhood “patrons.” One night, Seth’s friend Jamie Kennedy, the movie freak from “Scream,” along with a co-worker, show up at his door. They both work at J.T. Marlow, a small brokerage firm and convince Seth that he’s going to get caught for the casino and he should come work with them at the brokerage firm. The oldest member of the firm is Ben Affleck, who plays an obnoxious character similar to his roles in “Mallrats” and “Dazed and Confused.” His role only lasts for four or five short cameos. Once accepted to the firm, Seth is quickly absorbed into a corrupt world of talking people into buying stocks they don’t need. He is pulled into a world of greed. Twentysomething men, driven by alcohol and testosterone, try to make millions off of each other’s misfortunes. The occasional fight is thrown in here and there.The film does a good job of creating everyday guys complete with foul mouths, lust for alcohol, women and the tendency to get themselves into fights. Somehow Seth and Chris (Vin Diesel from “Saving Private Ryan”) are the only characters with redeeming qualities at the brokerage.The film even has a little romance. Seth falls for Debbie Hilliard, played by Nia Long. Debbie is the hard-working secretary at the firm and is supporting her sick mother. The problem with the situation is the fact that everyone at the firm is young and ignorant and racial slurs combined with sexism fly rampant between most of the employees.Despite some of the ignorance of the film, the characters are believable and their one-liners keep the movie moving faster than the reality of their situations would normally allow.Ribisi gives a good performance as Seth except for a couple of scenes. One involves Seth and his father in an argument. Seth begins to cry, which seems forced, almost like a child throwing a temper tantrum.The other questionable scene involves the budding romance between Long and Ribisi. Ribisi says, “I just want some chocolate love.” What a sweet sentiment.Overall, the film is interesting and fast-paced. The characters seem like the obnoxious friends that everyone had in high school. None of them know what to do with money when they get it and don’t have the maturity to realize the consequences of their actions. It’s all pretty close to life.
