I have watched a 'Boiler Room' recently, which was suggested by someone on Twitter.
The film shows people's greed and quick rich schemes by chop shop brokers. How people believe at anything these young brokers say over the phone, selling them dreams and looting their life-saving.
First of all, It looked weird to see the main character's actor in a serious role after watching his acting in the Friends TV show. Vin diesel as a stockbroker after watching him in fast and furious looked weird too. Ben Affleck gave an amazing performance as always. That speech to new joiners was amazing.
The movie felt similar to other stock market movies, where the main character joins a trading firm. Learns the business, becomes good at what the firm does. Later on, his heart changes thinking how his action is ruining people's lives. In the end, his stint ends when the regulator starts investigating, helps SEC to fight evil.
The side story of an investor who loses his saving, ending up losing his marriage too, makes the film stronger. I read on IMDb that in the alternate version, Seth passes by that investor Harry, who is carrying a gun on his way into the office.
