Movie Preview

Boiler Room (2012)

Feb 11, 2000

Details Rated: R; Length: 120 Minutes; Genres: Drama, Mystery and Thriller; With: Nicky Katt and Giovanni Ribisi; Distributor: New Line

Director Younger's homage to ''Wall Street'' stars Ribisi as a pasty college dropout who joins a brokerage house (run by Scott and Affleck), rises through the ranks, and falls in love... only to realize the firm is shadier than a weeping willow in summer. A hot ticket at Sundance, it's achingly of the moment -- but there's a fine line between homage and rip-off. BUZZ FACTOR: 7
