- 1 - Previously in Saving Private Ryan & Friends, Boiler Room broke out Giovanni Ribisi and 25 years later it's still clear to see why.
- 2 - Vin Diesel one film away from his breakout later that year in Pitch Black, and same thing, it's clear 25 years later why.
- 3 - The production values of this film are nothing less than perfect.
- 4 - Does not feel dated, it just gets better every time I watch it.
- 5 - Ben Affleck's supporting role - I can imagine this film without many of the key actors but I can'r imagine it without Ben's iconic interview sequence. ("Pack your shit, Skippy")
- 6 - The pacing - kicks right into the story, wastes no time in setting up it's characters and stays on you full press til credits roll.
- 7 - The soundtrack is so jamming it doesn't even wait until the film starts - foots are tapping during the New Line Cinema indent.
