Look, this movie is no Taxi Driver or Apocalypse Now, but it's a pretty damn good movie, in my humble opinion. I don't know if it's cause I'm a Jewish kid from New York who's trying to be a third grade teacher, and doesn't think I can handle the attractive yet empty notion of making hundreds of thousands of dollars selling stock, but I loved this movie. Giovanni Ribisi, who I think is a solid actor, does a great job. Somehow, it took me years to finally see this flick, but running the risk of being repetitive, I liked it.
Fast paced, good actors, intriguing plot. Simply put, this movie works. You won't cry, you'll laugh a bit, but you'll be happy you rented it or stayed up to watch it on HBO. It reminds me of Rounders, just in the sense of following a strong willed 20 something white kid with determination and a little bit of soul. I'm rambling at this point, but I just wanted to put in a recommendation to watch this movie if you haven't already. Two hours of your life that you may have been spent doing something more admirable, but not being much more entertained.
