This movie is not for family watching. Maybe some party watching. I think it will be better if they would use computers. That trading is a very old style. Movies is about some brokers that are full of crap and tricks. The end is FBI arrest. I think it is common way in some sense, just look an Enron. I think that broker is a small damage actually. There were bigger ones in a history. If you do not mind bad talks then movie is ok.

Great movie from start to finish. For those with a sales background, you have a little inside information that makes it even better. Pays tribute to two other great sales based movies, Glengarry Glen Ross (a must own as well), and Wall Street, with a whole scene dedicated to the latter. Ben Affleck is the biggest name in the movie, but he appears briefly in a so-so version of Alec Baldwin's character in "Glengarry", (watch both and you will see what I mean), but the rest of the cast is stellar. Vin Diesel has moved on to more action type roles, but he was excellent here in a straight acting job. Giovanni Ribisi's Seth was great, very believable as a young salesman on the rise. Nicky Katt, Scott Caan, Jamie Kennedy, and Nia Long all chip in with great characters. They are supported with veteran character actors like Ron Rifkin as Seth's (Giovanni Ribisi) Dad. The DVD has a few deleted scenes which are pretty cool, and other extra content. The only drawback for me is I prefer the standard plastic DVD case, instead of the cardboard and plastic snap case. I be there will be a deluxe edition soon, hopefully they dont wait for the 10 year anniversary, as it is needed now. The DVD can be found inexpensively on ebay, and is usually around $10 in the store, so either way, it is a great buy! I would also get Wall Street and Glengarry Glen Ross, so you are on the "in" as well.Read full review
This movie was more than I expected, it was a little slow but an excelent movie. I thought that Vin Diesel would be the main caracter in this movie but he was not, but let me tell you the guy that played the casino owner, was so good in this role! As I said it was not what I expected at all, I thought it would be like a B title movie, instead it was amazing! 2 thumbs up! I recommend it fully.
An EXCELLENT MOVIE about The Stock Market, Wall Street, Greed, and what someone may do in a time of need! WE GIVE THIS MOVIE A HIGH RECOMMENDATION!!! ** TWO THUMBS UP ** Very Interesting(from beginning to end), GREAT Cast Performances, and very well written.
