Boiler Room...

Had a chance to watch an older movie this week entitled 'Boiler Room.' The flick is a clear homage to Glenngary Glenross and Wall Street with its focus on flashy sales tactics and the greed that drives them. Two things that struck me about Boiler Room was how captivating it can be to witness the sales process when it is conducted by a pro. The second thing was how sales ability isn't always connected to a valuable product, as in Boiler Room where young, greedy men are selling stocks that don't exist. Who knew that Vin Diesel could actually act?
