Critic Reviews
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
To put the movie in sales terms, after a good opening pitch, Younger fails to close the deal. The audience can't buy in.
-
Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Writer-director Ben Younger experienced the sales pitch of a boiler room recruiter in real life. His fascination with the thrill-junkie life of these stock jocks is reflected in the script's sharp, arrogant dialogue.
-
Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle
Boiler Room is a new film that will yank anyone who's ever gotten a cold call from a chop shop.
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
A vivid demonstration of society's devotion to false ideals.
-
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
Younger draws a lot from David Mamet in his depictions of this seller's hothouse, but he does it with a twist: The salesmen here are fully conscious of being Mamet-y; their bible is Alec Baldwin's big, win-at-all-costs speech from...Glengarry Glen Ross.
