Giovanni Ribisi is a pretty decent actor. I realized that after watching this. I also liked Vin Diesel's represhingly subtle role.

Vin Diesel steals the show.

i wasn't really expecting much from this film, so i was pleasantly surprised. in comparing it to "wall street", this film focused more on the blatantly illegal and unethical facets of the stock market, whereas the former dealt a little more with simply unethical ..

giovani ribisi does a fine job as our moralistic and symathetic center of the film, but the performances of the rest of the supporting cast is more than adequate.

my favorite quote from the film "i'll need your client list, and your c: drive backed up on a floppy".

Not bad - solid movie about the stock market hype & sales

Updated version of Wall Street type film starring Giovanni Ribisi who is cast perfectly for the stock broker role. While the ending was not totally fulfilling, the entire dialogue between dirty brokers is what makes this an enjoyable little film.

Giovanni Ribisi and Vin Diesel are excellent. Cut of the Wall Street mold, but with a better plot, and less predictable. Never quite knowing who can trust who provides suspense right up to the ending, which leaves you hanging slightly but I as great "Make you think" ending. Also has some humor and great lines... "I did the white boy equivilent of selling crack rock... I became a stock broker."
