This is another film that ranks on my top ten favorites. I don't know what about this movie that is just so... damn good. It's just a refreshing movie to watch as you see Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi) slip into this different world of Wall Street and how far he goes. I saw this film being a fan of Ribisi and was very impressed by his work in the film. The writing is great. I really liked the way Seth and his dad (Ron Rifkin) didn't have the perfect father-son relationship as one might expect. This is also the movie that made me like Vin Diesel (who plays Chris). Many people really got hooked on Diesel after 'The Fast and the Furious' and 'XXX' but this was the film that made me enjoy him. Diesel does a really good job in the film and it made me believe Diesel would go on to be a pretty good actor. Unfortunately the roles he selects now make all his actual acting talents lay dormant and unnecessary (such as with 'XXX'). But to get back with the movie, it's probably one of the best films of 2000 and Ben Younger (writer/director) should have got some sort of nomination for his screenplay. This ranks under one of the very few tens I give.
*I would also recommend watching Wall Street and Glengarry Glen Ross.
