Boiler Room

Good movie. The movie has a good starcast including Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel and Ben Affleck(guest role). Giovanni Ribisi(GR) really stole the movie from the other stars. The dialogue between GR and his father were good. And the monologue by Ben Affleck was good, but Ben could have actually been part of the film rather than a lecture and go kind of person.

One sequence in this movie that is the soul of the story is , when GR was 10 years old he fell down from his bicycle and got badly hurt in his leg. When his father found his child to be crying with pain because of the fall from bicycle, he initially got stunned and then the father slapped the kid. Later GR's father says that he slapped GR to let GR forget the pain of the bicycle-fall.

Vin Diesel repeating the dialogues of Michael Douglous from the movie 'Wall Street' was also good.
