Diesel-powered boiler burns out

Boiler Room is a blistering film which manages to make phones n finance seem more exciting than guns n ammo. It also has a surprising amount of heart, particularly in the candid and heartfelt depiction of the main character's desperation to win his father's respect. My only gripe with Boiler Room is that the ending is overly abrupt and totally unsatisfying, which is why I'd give it 3 stars rather than 4.

By the way, Vin Diesel is mighty in this film. He should put away his muscles more often.
