Synopsis:

 

A college dropout gets a job as a broker for a suburban investment firm, which puts him on the fast track to success, but the job might not be as legitimate as it sounds.

 

Brian's Rating: B : Ever seen Wall Street?  This is like that, only with worse acting.  I was entertained throughout the film, the script was interesting, and appalling.  I could not help but think to myself multiple times during this movie that shiesters like this actually do get away with crap like what is portrayed in the movie and then us normal tax payers get to pay for their mess.  The movie was made in 2000, befre Enron, before Worldcomm, before AIG, and it sort of made me sick thinking about events that transpired after the movie was out.

Vin Diesel is a terrible actor.  Whoever thought he could be cast as a stock broker must've been high on something.  At least he is only a supporting role in this and so does not completely ruin it.

The last stock broker movie I saw was Wall Street, I don't get to the subject matter much, but it was good to come back to it.  It made me want to watch Wall Street again.  I would recommend this movie, but I would not call it amazing.
